===The shape of the sun's course===
Various verses explain the shape of the sun's course.  Apparently Allah brings the sun from east, it travels high and eventually goes down. Most of these can be dismissed as the same kind of convenient language we would use today ({{cite Quran|20|059}}, {{cite Quran|20|130}}, {{cite Quran|17|078}}, {{cite Quran|{{cite quran|6|77|end=78|style=ref}}}}, {{cite Quran|18|17}}). Some are more interesting, however.
