Proof that Earth rotates around the Sun

Although it is now accepted wisdom, but some religious people who want to interpret religious books literally and some true sceptics ask for proof that sun is static, even though everyone can see it moving across the sky every day.
the actual proof is mathematical and needs explanation of astronomical observations.
the layman's proof is in the changing shapes of the moon.
the sun-centeric theory says that moon shines by the sun light reflected from its surface.since different sides of the moon are visible at different times, so the moon changes its shape in a monthly cycle.
but in earth-centric theory, the moon shape cannot be explained. if it shines by its own light, why only part of its surface shines? if it reflects sunlight, then it should change shape within a single night because the moon and sun must move around the earth every 24 hours.
so here is your simple proof that earth rotates around the sun, and the sun does not rotate around the earth.
