But the inappropriateness due to size mismatch is distinct from that. The two tafsirs added are saying the moon appears after the sun. They don't tell us whether it literally follows its path.

In this case Q.55.22 and 35.12 show these are both meant to be earthly seas. The author is also not clear enough when he adds his own comments to translations. The hadiths may be useful if we ever have a page on hadith cosmology but are of limited evidential value for the Quran itself. Tag: Manual revert

Tafsirs (especially later ones) have limited evidentiary value in articles about factual errors, so this also helps to avoid diluting the more important evidence.
