The sun (and its system, including us) is moving in an orbit around the center of the Milky Way, and it is moving at the brisk rate of 486,000 miles per hour. It takes an unfathomable 226 million years for the sun (and its solar system) to make the full circuit around. The last time we were at this position was 226 million years ago, and dinosaurs ruled. The earth travels at 67,000 miles per hour in its orbit around the sun; a snail's pace compared to our galactic romp. See link.

∙ 14y agoBecause the sun is a giant ball of gases, all part of the sun don't rotate with the same speed .The inner part of the sun is rotating every 27 days,in mean time the Ecuador of the sun is rotating every 25 days, and some areas near the poles of the sun are making one complete rotation for 35 days.

∙ 13y agoBecause the Sun is comprised of a gas it has different rotational speeds and therefore rotation times. [See related question]
At the equator the Sun is rotating at about 7,189 kph or 4,467 mph.
Being made of gas different parts of the sun (north to south) rotate at different speeds but the equatorial regions rotate once every 25.05 days.

∙ 14y agoAs time and space are relative this question has many answers. The only real benchmark we have is the MBR (Microwave Background Radiation).
The speed of the Sun relative to Earth is negligible. (Mostly caused by the gravitational pull of Jupiter but also the pull of all the planets acting on both Earth and the Sun.)
The speed of the Sun relative to the Galactic Core is about 220 km/s.
The speed of the Galaxy (Sun) relative to the MBR is about 552 km/s.

∙ 12y agoFor earth, 365.245 EARTH days is the time it takes to travel round the sun. That means that, given that the earth's orbit is approximately 939951264 km, the speed of revolution is 939951264/8765.88 = 107339 km/h or 66697 mph

∙ 12y agoThe sun and the earth were formed about 4.6 billion years ago.The earth is revolving around the sun since then.It means the earth has completed about 4.6 revolutions of the sun.
similarly the sun is also revolving around a galaxy.But it has completed only 20 revolution till date.If we calculate ,we will find that the the sun revolves at the speed of almost 7 lakhs km/ hour.
In short the speed of the sun is 7 lakhs km per hour.

∙ 13y agoThe speed of the Sun's solar wind is approximately 400 km/sec or 900,000 miles per hour. In comparison the solar escape velocity is 680 km/sec, and the speed of light is 300,000 km/sec.

∙ 11y agoRelated to what? A speed must always be specified in relation to something.
The speed of the Sun (and therefore of the Solar System) around the Milky Way is estimated at 230 km/second.

A stream of electrically charged particles from the sun is called?
It is solar wind
Should you use the sun for solar energy?
Sun = solar. if you use wind then you would have to call it wind energy.
What is the dramatic eruption on the sun that produces x-rays and hurls charged particles into space at nearly the speed of light?
Solar flares - which produce the solar 'wind'
What is the stream of particles from the sun?
solar wind
Streams of protons and electrons emitted from the Sun produce?
The stream of protons and electrons being emitted from the sun is called the solar wind.
What is the source of solar wind?
Solar flares from the sun produce bursts of solar wind, but solar wind is constantly streaming out from the sun.
What is a stream of electrically charged particles from the sun called?
The general dissipation of charged particles from the sun is called the Solar Wind. Occasionally the sun also emits vast quantities of matter from bursts known as "Coronal Mass Ejections". (The Corona is the Sun's atmosphere.)
A stream of electrically charged particles from the sun is called?
It is solar wind
From which layer of the Sun does the solar wind originate?
Solar winds originate from the Sun's corona. These winds vary in speed and carry with them magnetic clouds and can produce storms in the Earth's magnetosphere.
Should you use the sun for solar energy?
Sun = solar. if you use wind then you would have to call it wind energy.
Why comet 's tail is facing away from the sun?
It is pushed away from the sun by the solar wind.
What is a solar wind?
solar wind is the continuous flow of charged particles from the sun that permeates the solar system.
What is the dramatic eruption on the sun that produces x-rays and hurls charged particles into space at nearly the speed of light?
Solar flares - which produce the solar 'wind'
Is there solar wind on the sun?
yes, there is
What kinds of particles does the sun eject into the solar wind?
The Solar Wind. (and photons if you mean the light that the Sun emits).
How are solar and wind power different?
solar power comes from the sun and is generated from solar pannals. wind power comes from the wind and is generated from wind mills.
Is wind energie the same as solar energy?
No, wind energy comes from the wind and solar energy comes from the sun.
