Due to this rope theory, a satellite revolves round its planet, a planet revolves round its star and a star revolves round its galaxy. That is why, they live together.

Habitable worlds with JWST: transit spectroscopy of the TRAPPIST
... TRAPPIST-1d may have a closer and shorter orbit. If, for example, the orbit is 10 days, the problem becomes more tractable, with 30 transits each with NIRSpec and MIRI observable within 6 years. The transit duration will decrease slightly, and this will increase the noise level on the spectrum, but ...
