Muhammad claimed in sura 13:0221:3331:2936:40 and 39:05 that sun and moon travel across sky in fixed orbits at fixed speed. He even mentioned in sura kaif (sura 18:85-99) about the rising place of the sun in the east and the setting of the sun in the west in a muddy spring. Of course he had no clue of the solar system. If he did he could have mentioned that earth spins on its axis that makes the sun travel in the sky from east to west and causes day and night;
@orionfox6 - both the Sun and the Moon orbits in their own fixed axis, i.e. they do not "deviate". The "deviation" of night and day is caused by the Earth's axial tilt (or obliquity) and its relation to the rotation axis and plane of orbit. That's why It is summer in the Southern Hemisphere when Winter in the Northern. This is also the reason why the poles observe 6 months day and 6 months night at a stretch and the places near the equator does not see much changes in summer solstice.
The Apex of the Sun's Way, or the solar apex, is the direction that the Sun travels through space in the Milky Way. The general direction of the Sun's galactic motion is towards the star Vega near the constellation of Hercules, at an angle of roughly 60 sky degrees to the direction of the Galactic Center. The Sun's orbit around the Galaxy is expected to be roughly elliptical with the addition of perturbations due to the galactic spiral arms and non-uniform mass distributions.
The galactic disc, which bulges outward at the galactic center, has a diameter of 70,000–100,000 light-years (20–30 kpc). The exact distance from the Sun to the galactic center is actively debated. The latest estimates from geometric-based methods and standard candles yield distances to the Galactic center of 7.6–8.7 kpc (25,000–28,000 ly)
Dear Friend - please get your facts straight before you think critically, otherwise it can be harmful to both yourself and others!
The Sun does travel across the sky!! It orbits around the Galactic Center of the Milky Way Galaxy. I have compiled a few information for your knowledge below:
muhammad claimed in sura 13:0221:3331:2936:40 and 39:05 that sun and moon travel across sky in fixed orbits at fixed speed. But science says sun never travels across sky. The spinning of earth on its axis makes the sun appear to be travellilng from east to west,but muhammad did not know that, otherwise he would have mentioned it in koran. it proves that he had not the slightest idea of the solar system.
very good
