Moon spins around the earth, earth in turn spins around the sun.
Live means you are not dead.
If a fence is made out of wire, and you sit on it it means you are neutral.
is that the answer you wanted or is it a load of bolloks

Ground is just as it sounds, a copper plated rod driven into the ground as a safety. This is wired to the outer casing of an appliance so that if something comes loose and touches the outside, it will blow the fuse before you touch it and complete the circuit yourself. Neutral is usually 'bonded' to the ground inside the panel but is not a safety but one side of the power circuit. The live is the one that will give you a shock and is usually black or red in North America.
