Yeah and not only that the earth goes around the sun, the solar system is moving withing the milky way, not to mention the whole universe expanding lol

the universe is expanding with its coordinates, there is no problem. you yourself are expanding with the universe and it doesn't bother you much

There are no coordinates. All distances and positions are relative. No such thing as an absolute position in our weird universe.

Also you're not exapanding. The space is, but not matter, and the forces between the particles that make up your body keep them in the same relative distance. Same with the solar system and the galaxy. The expansion only really comes into play on scales much larger than the galaxy.

"Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second,
so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
Now the sun, and you and me,
and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way."
