1. .First of all, I thank you, for your excellent feedback, but still you have not spoken about the organization and most importantly the ideas of the essay.
It would be difficult for me to comment on the essay as a whole at this point, since I haven't yet read the whole thing. It does seem to be well-organized on the whole. The paragraphs are a manageable size.

2.By the way, is it grammatical (or more formal) to use “Also” in the beginning of a sentence?
Also is used at the beginning of a sentence to indicate that the sentence continues a thought begun with the previous sentence and adds something to it. It sometimes (but not always) performs a different function in the middle of a sentence. Neither way is more formal than the other. (Did I answer the question?)

3.What do you think of this definition as an alternative to the previous one : “Classicism is the following of ancient Greek or Roman principles and style in art and literature, generally associated with harmony, restraint, and adherence to recognized standards of form and craftsmanship, especially from the Renaissance to the 18th century.”
I think it is an excellent definition and is a marked improvement over the other one. :D

4.A revolution of the sun would be a year.

Really, I thought it would be one day .What about “a revolution of earth” would it make any difference?
Possibly. I usually think of it as the earth revolving around the sun but rotating about its axis.

It's good, but it's somewhat repetitious.
Could you pinpoint the repeated sentences ,plz?
I'll have a go at it.
