So the sun is on a different orbit then Earth eh? What are the sun
and Earth orbiting around on different orbits?

#The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
#Are moving at a million miles a day
#In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
#Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
#Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
#It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
#It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
#But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
#We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
#We go 'round every two hundred million years,
#And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
#In this amazing and expanding universe.

HTH ;)

Thanks Eric Idle. You might have educated Dimwit a bit there. (If such a
thing is possible.)

All the same; I would still like to ask Dimwit about the "different orbit"
that he states the sun is on in comparison to the Earth.
