Give it up. You are simply wrong. I checked the definition of "revolve" against a dozen websites before posting a response to you. I've looked at more of them since.

You are not going to find any source to back up your position. The phrase "revolve around the sun" is the single most common example of usage for the word "revolve."

Yet, the question isn't how some define a word or two, and there'll always be variations in that, but what constitutes scientific truth.

Einstein's view is that the Sun distorts space/time causing a deviation in the Earth's path.

That is, it only seems to orbit the Sun. In reality it is continuing on a straight line albeit on a curved path.

I do believe you’re being jerked around.
