I believe the current understanding is that galaxies (that are not part of local groups of galaxies) don't orbit anything. There is no universal center, matter seems to be distributed more or less evenly no matter what part of the sky we observe, and the galaxies are moving away from one another according to the current established principles. Some galaxies are members of groups of galaxies, and perhaps some of these groups are slowly turning on an axis, a little bit like materials in an accretion disk.

∙ 10y agoThere are several dwarf galaxies (not just two) that orbit the Milky Way. Two of them that can easily be seen with the naked eye are called the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud.

What is the largest Solar system Universe Milky Way galaxy sun The Earth?
biggest to smallest : universe, galaxy, star/solar system, planet, moon. The Universe is everything that exists and a galaxy is a cluster of billions of stars and then planets rotate around stars and moons rotate around planets.
What things can rotate beside the earth?
The Sun, all its planets and the galaxy in which the Sun sits all rotate.
How long does it take for the milkyway galaxy to rotate 1 time?
42
The milky way is classified as an blank galaxy?
The Milky Way doesn't really rotate around anything. Our home galaxy and nearby Andromeda are pretty much at the center of what is called a local group of gravitationally bound galaxies. As such, it is unsupportable to say that the Milky Way rotates around anything else.
To turn around a center point?
To turn around a centre point is to rotate.
Does the Sun rotate around anything?
Yes it really does! It rotates around the Milky Way Galaxy.
Why doesnt the sun revolve and rotate?
It does. It rotates about its axis and revolves around the galaxy.
Does the sun revolve or rotate around anything?
The Sun rotates around its axis. It revolves around the center of the galaxy.
At what speed does the sun rotate around the Milky Way Galaxy?
About 220 km/sec.
Do you move around the Galaxy or does the Galaxy move around us?
none of those. milky way is a part of the galaxy and our solar system is a part of it. in this solar system the planets revolve around the sun and rotate on thier own axis

What galaxy does the milkyway rotate around?
The Milky Way galaxy is in a local group of 30 or more galaxies of which M30 or Andromeda and the Milkyway are the most massive and they center to a point somewhere between each other. Each have their own satelite galaxies that rotate with the major spiral dominant galaxy
How do galaxy rotate?
Each individual object (such as a star) revolves around the galactic center according to the laws of celestial mechanics. As a result, the objects closer to the center of the galaxy take less time for a complete revolution than the objects further out; the galaxy rotation is differential, meaning it does not rotate as if it were a solid object.
How does the structure of the Milky Way Galaxy change over time?
The stars in the spiral arms gradually rotate around the galactic nucleus
What are the possible movement of a star?
Too many to list, but... stars can rotate around one another, can follow the galaxy's gravitation, etc.
How do you rotate pictures on galaxy s?
Rotation of picture
What things can rotate beside the earth?
The Sun, all its planets and the galaxy in which the Sun sits all rotate.
