Jan 6, 2021 at 0:34 comment added knowledgeseeker Thank you for all the help especially @uhoh My question was regarding the spiraling movement of earth around the sun's path in the video. I have edited my question with further details and clarifications. Sorry for any confusion.

Jan 5, 2021 at 16:15 comment added HDE 226868 Hi, knowledgeseeker, and welcome to Astronomy Stack Exchange. We prefer that askers edit their initial posts rather than asking them again, for the sake of clarity. I've deleted the second version of your post but edited the salient details into this one - feel free to edit again if I've missed something or made an error.

Added in information from the OP's other version of the question to make things a bit clearer - I also touched up the grammar.
Jan 5, 2021 at 16:00 comment added uhoh @MikeG this comment indicates that all this vortex stuff is off-base. The video shows spiral motion, there is in fact spiral motion, and the OP asked if there was spiral motion. All we had to do is give them a chance to reply to a vortex query. Now it will take a while to reopen. Had simply a comment been left asking about the vortex without the accompanying close votes, all this could have been avoided.
Jan 5, 2021 at 14:27 comment added knowledgeseeker @JamesK Thanks for the comments. I just started reading them a few minutes, ago. My knowledge of physics is very limited. My question was regarding the spiraling movement of earth around the sun's path in the video. I posted some comments on uhoh answer to clear things up.
Jan 5, 2021 at 14:01 comment added Mike G @uhoh I appreciate your interest in the question, but you're emphasizing a distinction which the two video authors ignored.

Duplicate of Why is the Solar Helical (Vortex) model wrong?
Jan 5, 2021 at 11:52 comment added uhoh @JamesK but in this case I don't see how one can be certain that by "the helical or spiral model shown in the video" the OP is for certain referring to whatever this vortex is, and not just asking if it is a theory that the Earth's trajectory is a spiral shape? Why not just ask the OP without the insta-close vote blocking all answers and requiring reopening as soon as the question is cleared up? There's nothing in the video about a vortex! It just shows the Earth moving in a spral.
Jan 5, 2021 at 10:19 comment added James K It's a straight dupe "1. Is the 'heliacal model correct'" is the same question as "Is the heliacal model wrong". Heliacal model = Vortex theory, they are the same thing.
Jan 5, 2021 at 10:12 comment added uhoh @JamesK no, there's nothing here about a vortex.OP has asked about graphics shown in a specific video; there's nothing there that addresses this, and there's nothing here about a "vortex theory" that's discussed there.

Corrected sentences, added punctuations, added tags.
Jan 5, 2021 at 7:16 comment added James K It is incorrect (It's not even a theory, it is a known falsehood). See the other question. In the picture that happens, but this is a consequence of the choice of frame of reference, in other words it is not a physical fact, but an effect of how it is drawn.
