How fast is your Milky Way galaxy moving around the local group of galaxies?

300 km/s Edit: I've seen that estimate, but it's not straightforward. It's not like finding how fast the Earth orbits the Sun, for example. For one thing the largest galaxy, called Andromeda, is moving towards Earth.


How fast does earth move around?

It rotates at about a 1000 miles per hour (at the equator). It revolves around the sun at about 18 miles per second. Since the sun is also moving around the core of the galaxy, and the galaxy is also moving, I'll quit here.

A galaxy that is four times as far away as another galaxy will appear to move how many times as fast?

This completely depends on the speed of the observed galaxy, the speed of the galaxy the observer resides in, and in which direction both galaxies are moving in relation to each other. There are too many variables to provide an answer at this time.


Is it true that the farther away from Earth a galaxy is the slower it is moving?
