Earth and the Sun are fundamentally linked through their orbital relationship, which drives global environmental patterns [1] and climate energy [2]. This heliocentric model, confirmed by Galileo [3] and the Copernican revolution [4], replaced earlier geocentric beliefs [5] and remains central to scientific measurements like radiative forcing [6] and comparative planetary studies [7].
