Can any knowledgable muslim refute this How to resolve an alleged error in the Qur'an in relation to the orbit of the Sun?

This is the alleged error, sense: Since we muslims believe that the sun and moon each have an orbit  (which it does)

And, and that the orbit of the sun the quran is referring to the galaxy orbit around the milky way  (the suns orbit).

Why does this verse below allegedly say that " have"have you not seen"? How can we humans see the galaxy orbit of the sun  ?

Hast thou not seen how Allah causeth the night to pass into the day and causeth the day to pass into the night, and hath subdued the sun and the moon (to do their work), each running unto an appointed term; and that Allah is Informed of what ye do? Qur'an 31:29

Hast thou not seen how Allah causeth the night to pass into the day and causeth the day to pass into the night, and hath subdued the sun and the moon (to do their work), each running unto an appointed term; and that Allah is Informed of what ye do? Qur'an 31:29

Notice also that the path of the sun is something that the author expects people to have seen (another problem for the galactic orbit interpretation)
