They do not say that.
It doesn't. The moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun, and the sun orbits the center of the galaxy. And the galaxy doesn't orbit anything.

The Earth, along with the Sun and all the other planets orbit around the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy.
The U.S. is on Earth, which is a small planet in orbit around a rather ordinary star in the Milky Way Galaxy.
yep, Earth: Milky way galaxy, saggitarius arm, sol, third orbit. :D all you need to do is ask a nerd :P
The path Earth travels around the sun is called an orbit. This orbit is elliptical in shape, meaning it is not a perfect circle but is slightly elongated. Earth takes 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the sun.
The sun is a star and the only one in the solar system. It does not orbit any star but rather orbits the center of the galaxy.
It's the same reason that mountains are not perfect triangles: Nature is imperfect.

The Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical, not a perfect circle. This means that the distance between the Sun and Earth is constantly altering during the orbit of the Earth.
The moon's orbit around the Earth is elliptical, meaning it is not a perfect circle but rather an oval shape. This results in the moon's distance from the Earth changing throughout its orbit.
