Can the sun leave the Milky Way?
No, the sun is gravitationally bound to the Milky Way galaxy. Its orbit around the galactic center keeps it within the Milky Way.
Does the sun orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy?
No, the sun does not orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy. The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.
Where in the galaxy is the sun located and how long does it take the sun to orbit its galaxy?
The Sun - and the Solar System - are about 26,000 light-years from the Milky Way's center. It takes an estimated 225 million years to go once around the galaxy.
How long does it take for the sun to orbit around the milky way?
The Sun takes about 225 to 250 million years to complete one orbit around the Milky Way galaxy, a period often referred to as a "cosmic year" or "galactic year." This journey occurs as the Sun moves through the galaxy's spiral arms and is influenced by the gravitational forces of other stars and the galaxy's structure.
How long is that for our Sun take to travel one time around the center of the milky way galaxy?
It takes the sun to complete one orbit (a galactic year) of our home galaxy: 226 million years
Does the sun orbit something?
Yes, the sun is orbiting the center of the galaxy. what? that's a load of rubbish, it IS the center of the galaxy. the MILKY WAY galaxy, that's why there IS a galaxy, because its gravitational pull pulled planets into orbit, thus CREATING one!
Why doesn't the sun revolve?
The sun does revolve. It's part of our Galaxy called the Milky Way, and it has its own orbit and trajectory around the centre of the Milky Way.
Does the Milky Way orbit the sun?
No, the Sun is a part of the Milky Way. Our Solar System orbits around the center of the Milky Way. Our sun goes along with the general spin of the entire Milky Way galaxy, and is positioned rather near the edge. It doesn't orbit it in the sense I think you mean.
What is orbit of the sun?
The sun is in an enormous orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy. It is estimated that it takes between 225 and 250 million years for the sun to make one orbit, called a galactic year. We are traveling around the center of the galaxy at a rate of about 220 km/second, which is .073% of the speed of light.
Does the sun orbit anything or does anything orbit it?
Yes - the sun slowly orbits the galactic center of our galaxy, The Milky Way. Also, everything in our solar system orbits the sun. That's what a "year" is - the amount of time it takes Earth to orbit the Sun once, about 365 days.
What galaxy is the sun located?
Milky way is the galaxy in which our Earth and the parent star Sun are located.
How does gravity effect the orbit of the sun?
The gravity of the entire Milky Way galaxy causes all the stars to orbit the center of the galaxy. Our Sun, with the whole solar system, takes about 220 million years to make one complete orbit.
