Harikeśa: It rotates on an axis like this. So therefore the sun seems to go around, but actually it's the earth that goes around.
Prabhupāda: Now, if you measure when this sun and when it comes meridian distance, so do you think the earth is moving so quickly? It is... According to their modern science, the earth is moving twenty-five thousand miles only throughout... No, within twenty-four hours.
Harikeśa: That's around the sun.
Prabhupāda: Huh? Then is it possible...
Jagadīśa: Twenty-four-hour day, twenty-five thousand miles circumference.
Prabhupāda: So how earth has gone so quickly round that it is seen, the different position of the sun? This means sun is not fixed. Sun is moving. And in the Bhāgavata it is said that it is moving at the rate of sixteen thousand miles per second. I think I have calculated that. Sixteen thousand miles.
Hṛdayānanda: Prabhupāda? Does that mean that the sun is going around the earth?
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Hṛdayānanda: Is the sun going around the earth?
Prabhupāda: Sun is going around the whole planetary system.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The scientists think the whole planetary system is going around the sun.
Bhavānanda: Śrīla Prabhupāda, earth is also moving?
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Bhavānanda: Earth planet is also moving?
Prabhupāda: Along with all other stars. That you can see at night.
