I see the part about everything revolving around the earth once a day.  I
still don't see where the 28 days of the moon, and the other orbits of the
planets, the 365 days per the sun come in.

I've been hopping around the net looking for those answers and haven't found
them yet.  Is there a simple answer to this question?

I read Dr. Jones' landing on the moon essay over again, and seemed to get
more out of it this time than before, and it is so fascinating.  But I don't
claim to understand all of it.

I am only of average intelligence when it comes to math.  Physics was
something I flunked in high school.  My forte is politics and religion.
