I have seen the following video from Vsauce called "How Earth Moves" on YT regarding how the earth moves: https://youtu.be/IJhgZBn-LHg?t=1189 I have a couple of questions. 1. Is the helical or spiral model shown in the video real, or just a theory? 2. Does the earth spiral around the Sun's path as it is shown in the video (exact time is 19:49)? I see both the Sun and Earth racing with each overtaking the other over and over. Is this true? In this manner, would Earth, **at one point in time**, be closer to the destination where the Solar System is heading (I think they call the destination Vega) than the Sun? Here are some screenshots:
