[36:41] [36:41] It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day. All of them float in an orbit.

Its not really that hard to understand.
Allah is talking about day and night in the verse. Sun is representing day, and the moon representing night. Allah says day cannot catch night, nor can night catch the day. Each has its own time. To put it in even more simplified terms, there cant be darkness and light at the same time. Sun and moon in the verse is just pointing at day and night.
All of them float in an orbit also means that everything runs according to Allah's plan.
