I have a hard time believing that 33% of US adults actually don’t think that the earth goes around the sun once a year.
I would assume most of them think the Earth goes around the Sun once per day. Note that the story taught in school often goes: “We used to think the Sun went around the Earth, but after Galileo we know that the Earth goes around the Sun”. But the first statement was an explanation for the appearance of the sun going across the sky, so one would assume the second was as well.
