In an atom, the electrons orbit around the nucleus in the same manner as the planets orbit around the sun.

That's been debunked for many many decades but middle scool still teaches this model. At least I wasn't told back then how misleading and wrong that is, only in high school right before graduating the physics teacher emphasized this misconception. I remember how mad she was about it lol. I have no clue how its taught elsewhere.
