I want to animate the revolution of earth around the sun in blender. I know that keyframes can be used to make an object revolve on its own axis. But how do I make an object revolve around an external fixed axis?

As example I have a cube that revolves around an empty

  • Add empty and add cube List item
  • Select the cube and then select the empty and press ctrlp and select Object, the cube is parented to the empty enter image description here
  • Select empty and press I and select rotation, so the empty has a rotation keyframe enter image description here
  • the timeline you can use to pick another frame and enter 360 in highlight and press I to insert a keyframe: enter image description here
