IMPORTANT

The earth is just an approximate sphere. If the interior contained matter which is not of the same density everywhere, then on the surface of the earth, the acceleration is due to gravity.

IMPORTANT

As observed from earth, the sun seems to move in an approximately circular orbit. For the motion of another planet like mercury as observed from earth, this would

EASY

IMPORTANT

Different points in the earth are at slightly different distances from the sun and hence experience different forces owing to gravitation. For a rigid body, we know that if various forces act at various points in it, the resultant motion is as if a net force acts on the c.m (centre of mass) causing translation and net torque at the c.m causing rotation around an axis through the c.m. For the Earth-Sun system (approximating the earth as a uniform density sphere)
