The Sun revolves once a year around Earth, traveling at 107,226 km/h (a speed attributed to Earth’s orbit in the Copernican model) while Mars, its binary companion, revolves once every two solar years around the Sun and Earth both. In the TYCHOS, Earth’s celestial equator is naturally considered to be our (0°) horizontal plane of reference. Earth’s axis is not tilted at 23.3° as currently believed, since this assumption conflicts with observation (but more on that soon).
Instead, the 23.3° tilt we observe for the Sun’s behavior is exactly as observed: it represents the Sun’s (or rather, our entire system’s) orbital inclination in relation to Earth’s celestial equator. We shall see further on why these two concepts (the tilt of Earth’s axis vs. the tilt of all other orbits in relation to Earth) are not equivalent or interchangeable, as commonly thought.
There is no need for Earth’s “wobble around its polar axis”. Nor do we hurtle around space at hypersonic speeds. Earth only rotates once every 24 hours while it slowly gets tugged around at 1.6 km/h (or about 1 mph) along its own clockwise 25344-year orbit (a period also known as “The Great Year”). This “PVP” orbit (“Polaris-Vega-Polaris”) and Earth’s snail-paced orbital motion, will of course be thoroughly illustrated further on, as they constitute the core postulations upon which the TYCHOS model is founded.
