Orange is rich in vitamin C. Vitamin D is fat soluble vitamin. So in fruit , vit D is nil or in negligible amount.
Vitamin D is also called as sunshine vitamin. when our skin get exose to sunlight , vitamin D get synthesised under our skin.
Some cooking oils are generally fortified with vitamin D.(its usually mentioned on label)
Egg yolk , fatty fish, milk, butter etc are some sources of vit D.
Health Tips
You can have vitamin d tablets to top up your vit D sources as per physician's advice.
Other dietary sources , you should use in moderation.
Sun exposure to maximum part of body whenever possible may also help to some extent.

When it comes to vitamin D, oranges fall short. The USDA reports that oranges contain no vitamin D but are rich in vitamin C. You need to take vitamin D supplements in order to raise your already low levels. There is nothing that can be eaten at this point that will improve your condition. Don't put off taking vitamin D supplements because they help with so many important internal processes. The daily intake of vitamin D-rich food can begin after you've begun taking supplements. I can't tell if you're vegetarian or not, so here are some suggestions for vitamin D-rich vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.
Non vegetarian source:
#Cod liver oil
#Salmon fish
#Swordfish
#Tuna fish
#Sardines
#Beef liver
#Egg yolk
Vegetarian Sources:
#Dairy products like milk, curd, cheese, etc.
#Soy products
#Mushroom contains very less amount of vitamin D.
