There's a whole mess of them on this page, plus a lot more about the earth being flat which I didn't paste here. If you want to read more, click on the link. These passages clearly describe the sun and moon as moving about the earth. This also shows how much all those people who say it's not in the Bible know about the Bible.
Joshua 10:12-13
Then spoke Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the men of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand thou still at Gibeon, and thou Moon in the valley of Aijalon." And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.
Habakkuk 3:11
The sun and moon stood still in their habitation at the light of thine arrows as they sped, at the flash of thy glittering spear.
Psalms 19:4-6
yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and like a strong man runs his course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and there is nothing hid from its heat.
Ecclesiastes 1:5
The sun rises and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises.

That statement is not actually in the Bible. IDK about the Koran. This idea may have developed from certain things in the Bible: the "order" of creation, the command from Joshua for the Sun and Moon to stand still, etc. There is a little of a misunderstanding of physics there also.
Later "Biblical" scholars tried to go beyond their scope in detailing the path of holiness, and tried to detail math and science also. What we have here, is men who want to control everything! The Bible doesn't explain zoology, or give star maps, or explain the proper way to birth a child, or say that there are exactly 16 oz in a pound. What it DOES say is that God created all the animals (and cares for them too), created the stars for our benefit (and names a few constellations), admits that childbirth is difficult and painful (but is followed by joy), and demands honesty in weights and mesures.
