.:the sun's orbit:.
Ancient people use to believe around the
earth . Later, Nicolas Copernicus in1512, laid his Heliocentric Theory of
Planetary motion, which placed the sun motionless in the center of the solar
system with all the planets revolving around it .Modern science tell us now that
the sun too is not still , but is in motion
The sun travelling at roughly 150 miles
per second takes about 200 million years to complete one revolution around the
center of our Milky Way Galaxy and 25� days to make one complete rotation around
its own axis. See how beautifully and accurately God revealed this phenomenon in
the Quran.
�It is He who created the night and
the day, and the sun and the moon, all (celestial bodies) swim along , each in
its orbit with its own motion. The Noble Quran, 21:33
