You assume the existence of some external thing called 'position'.
Position is only meaningful relative to some frame of reference. For convienience, we usually use the earth as this frame of reference.
As such Mt. Everest is always in the same place.
You could take the sun as your frame of reference, but there doesn't seem to be any good reason to do so.
