Maybe some think the earth goes around the sun once a day.
I recall reading, a while back, a published poll that had results similar to what you describe. I can’t find it now, but I did find a number of references that seem to lead back to this Gallup poll which stated (in 1999) that 79% of Americans knew which object (the Sun or the Earth) orbited the other. (Apparently, this compared favorably to the example it gave of Germany, where only 74% got that ‘right’.)
