On the first day, God created day and night. On the fourth day, he created the sun and the moon.
How so?

You want to further mess with your head? Genesis 1 says all living things were created on the sixth day, but Genesis 2 says mankind was created on the 4th day of creation. Think on that for a while. ;)
But, to answer your question (and in a way to answer the one I just gave you) you have to remember that Genesis is a creation story. All cultures and ethnicities have one and they all start the same way: great mangled mess of everything that splits into parts either by will or by force. The levels start off vague and then become more complex as time passes.
Think of Creations as someone with OCD messing with a pile of change.
Step one: "And God seperated the Light from the Dark". All the silver coins go here and all the copper ones go here. Paper money goes here, I'll mess with it later.
Step two: "And God seperated the day from the night". All the foreign silver coins go here and the foreign copper coins go here.
Step three: "And God created the sun and the moon". All the quarters go here, all the nickles go here, all the euros go here, all the dime go here, all the pennies go here, all the pence go here...
Get the picture?

If you are in bathroom during the day and there are those cloudy panes of glass in the window so you don't scare the neighbors when you bathe and you turn the lights out, can you still see?
Rhetorical question; even though you can not see the source of light, the light is still there. If you open the window and see the sun shinning, you now have the light and the sun.
Same thing. The light was there, but the sun couldn't be seen, perhaps, at the time, the earth was like Venus with a continuous cloud cover that obscured the view of the sun but not the light...maybe?

What was the Earth revolving around before God created the sun?

so you think that the sun is more powerful than God...He can do anything honey, He's that bad. He don't need sun, when He has a SON. Because in the new worls there will be no sun, but the light from the glory of God will be enough. Get in the Word and let the Word speak to you, because man can't make you understand God, but He can.

The sun is not the only source of light. I'll bet you knew that.

Who knows where He was standing when He did it? Why does everyone assume He had to be standing on this miserable speck of cosmic dust at the time?

Nope, on the first day he created the US continent, and then made everything that revolved around it. ;-)
