Anonymous asked:

doesn't the earth orbit the sun

Anonymous,

The Kollel replies:

Please pinpoint your problem!

Which orbits which is purportedly a Machlokes between the Chachmei Yisrael (who hold that the sun orbits the earth), And the Chachmei Umos-ha'Olam (who maintain that it is the earth that orbits the sun). Either way, Chazal are entitled to relate to the sun orbiting the earth (even if that is not what actually happens) because that is the way we see it.

P.S. If you still have a problem, please explain clearly what it is, and I will attempt to resolve it.
