"No there are two pespectives and two models. One is your limited vision

(also depicted in SSidhanta) and one is how it is depicted in Bhagavatam

(from the point of view of deva)"

 

Yes and the Bhagavatam says 200,000 yojanas which is 1,600,000 miles as

oppossed to Surya siddhanta which says 258,000 miles. Now I do not see any

contradiction in this, although I do not fully understand it.

 

Now please explain where the 94,000,000 million comes into this picture?

 

 

Surya siddhanta was spoken by a messenger (or disciple as you like) of the

sungod to Maha Danava. It is considered sastra. Both visions must be true,

Srimad Bhagavatam and surya siddhhanta. We can not deny surya siddhanta even

though the Srimad Bhagavtam takes precedence over it.

 

Surya siddhanta gives the point of vieuw of the humans or ordinary mortals,

that does not make it untrue.
