Sadaputa Prabhu's book called Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy answers many

questions like this. You may check out its web page at

"http://www.nerdc.ufl.edu/~ghi/vc.html" to find out more about it. He is

also working on a new book dealing with Vedic astronomy called Mysteries of

the Sacred Universe which will contain his latest material.
