If the Sun actually travelled around the Earth, the answer would be:

So, the Sun must go around the Earth either
in about twelve hours, or one year.  I'd have
to think about that, and I refuse to.

 They don't?  Is the perimeter a circle? square? rectangle? triangle?
polygon? irregular?   It can certainly still rotate in any orientation
(even providing the concept of day & night).  Is it occupied only on
one side?  or are both sides occupied?
 

If it rotated the elephants and turtle would get so dizzy you'd end up with celestial vomit everywhere.  Hey, maybe that's what comets are actually made of?
