Celestial Bodies and Their Orbits

Did You Know?

The Quran correctly describes that all celestial bodies, including the Sun, move in specific orbits - a fact that wasn't confirmed until the 20th century with the discovery of the Solar Apex.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.

Quran 21:33
