The Sun is where it has always been, in the center of the planets. But if you were wondering, the Earth rotates,, thats how we get night and day. When one part of the Earth turns that way,the Moon "looks" down on that part of the Earth and the Sun "looks" at the other. Then in the next 12 hours when the Earth kept on rotating (never stops rotating) the Sun looked on the other side of the Earth and the Moon on the other. In the next 12 hours... and so on and so on...
Hope this helps :)
