How do we know the earth is orbiting the sun?

I was literally about to make this thread so lets just use this one.

What proves that the earth revolves around the sun, instead of the stars and planets revolving around the earth?

Without going to space and seeing for yourself.

It's a better explanation of observed planetary orbits than epicycles.
Also it agrees with the predictions of newtonian mechanics and general relativity to a high degree. Both theories have a lot of experimental data that support them.
Also we've explored the fucking solar system with satellites.

And conversely, you can prove that the stars and planets revolve around the earth,
instead of the earth revolving around the sun, even without ever having left your
mum's basement.

so what you're saying is that the only reason to believe in heliocentrism is because the orbits look tidier?

They do not look tidier, they make sense and you can predict them.

predict what exactly?
we have been predicted the movements of the heavens for thousands of years

can't you just observe them and wait for them to repeat?
