The Qur'an mentions numerous times that the sun and the moon travel in an orbit, but does not mention once that the earth does too. This is consistent with a earth-centered (geocentric) view of the cosmos that places a motionless earth at the center of the universe and all "heavenly bodies" travel around the earth. This was the prevailing understanding of the universe prior to the 16<sup>th</sup> century when Copernicus helped explain and popularize a sun-centered (heliocentric) view of the universe. Tellingly, the sun's orbit is always mentioned in the context of night and day.

Reply:
You say Quran  does not mention once that the earth travel in an orbit like sun and moon. Incorrect , risings and settings  cannot happened except in case of rotation of the Earth around itself " So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able" 70-40
also movement of mountains is an evidence hat the earth is move too :" And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allah , who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Acquainted with that which you do."27-88
