Sun closer than the moon thing can be better understood if the theory of matter behind Vedic cosmology is understood. "Closer" and "farther" are not physical distances but semantic distances (distances of meanings). Ex: The physical distance between a table and a chair is totally different than the semantic distance between them. For instance the semantic distance between two chairs at opposite sides of the universe is minimal, while the semantic distance between a table and a chair sitting next to each other is huge.
More insights about these matters in the book Mystic Universe.
There are plenty of references to Hinduism and Buddhism in comments to this recent quanta interview with the same guy.
A book I plugged here a while ago addresses this same topic in great detail as well.
