How do you determine the Milky Way's mass outside the Sun's orbit?
from the orbits of stars and gas clouds orbiting the galactic center at greater distances than the Sun
How far is the galactic center from earth?
The galactic center is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 24 - 26,000 light years (around 7,600 parsecs) from Earth.
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
What is the center of the mass of an object?
the center mass of an object is in the center of such objects. you can find it by spining the object. :)
What determines how much gravity on a planet has?
Its mass. More mass=more gravity Also the distance from the planet's center to its surface, i.e. its radius.
How much time does it take for the Sun to Orbit the Galactic Center once?
One galactic rotation at our distance from the galactic center takes about 220 million years.
What is the Galactic Core?
The galactic core is the center (not the very center) of the Milky Way Galaxy.
How do you measure the mass of the black hole at the galactic center?
If you observe an object in an elliptical orbit around something, AND you know the mass of the orbiting object AND the size of the orbit, you can calculate the mass of the object at the center (more precisely, at one of the foci) of the orbit. We observe several stars orbiting the super-massive black hole at our galactic center. We can calculate their mass based on the light they give off, and we can measure their orbits over time. From this, we can calculate the mass of that black hole.
Which great center contains almost 1 million items?

It is found at the center of the milky way?
The galactic center.
How far is Jupiter from the Galactic center?
The galactic center is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 24 - 26000 light years (around 7600 parsecs)
What is the main center of the galaxy?
Galactic centre.

How far is the galactic center from earth?
The galactic center is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 24 - 26,000 light years (around 7,600 parsecs) from Earth.
Where is the galactic center in the constellation of Sagittarius?
The black hole Sag A* is considered to be at the center of our galaxy.

Does the sun move in an elliptical orbit or does the moon?
Both the Earth and the Moon move in the universe. Earth and Moon actually orbit their common center of mass. Together, the Earth and the Moon orbit the Sun, which itself is moving in the universe.
