Structure of the solar system

So the FE society believes that the sun and the moon both hover/orbit/circle above the Earth according to their twitter (I saw a picture on the official flat earth society twitter). Since the sun is a star how does its gravity not pull in the moon or the Earth? How do the other planets, asteroids, comets all orbit the sun. The furthest point of the solar system in the Oort Cloud is around one light year away and this is kept in a steady orbit around the sun. How does the FE society explain the orbit of other planets around the sun? Also if the sun is above the Earth then how is it hotter on Mercury and Venus than it is on Earth? The sun is a big enough object to cause a steady orbit. What do the other planets orbit around if it isn't the sun? Also the sun and the moon being above the Earth doesn't really match the physics of a steady orbit.
