For the first one.
The sun doesn't glow yellow, the sun is white. The reason we see it yellow is because of our atmosphere, as explained
here.
Not only Alphonse doesn't seem very fluent in math, the real value of the Wien's displacement constant is equal to 2.8977721(26)×10−3 m K . He probably tried to rehash what he has read on this page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien's_displacement_law as some of his words are similar to what is wrote ( like quote: For wavelengths near the visible spectrum, it is often more convenient to use the nanometer in place of the meter as the unit of measure. ) but failed.
For the second post, read my precious post. I explain how you can really calculate the sun's distance ( and all the other planets ). Also, saying that god is fueling the sun with coal is pretty funny in my opinion.
For your own post. The earth isn't flat. Dunno why but since I was born, I've never heard of someone falling off the edge of the earth, wouldn't that be pretty obvious issue if earth was flat? ( logic hurts I know )
Take a good read.
Also, it's pretty easy to determine we orbit around the sun. The phases of the planets, especially venus, make it easy to work out the 3-dimensional positions of the Sun, Earth, and other planets.
