Do the stars orbit around earth?
They don't specifically orbit the black hole. Stars orbit the Milky Way because in general, they are attracted to the other masses in the Milky Way. The supermassive black hole is only a tiny fraction of the total mass of the Milky Way. Well, you might say that they move around the black hole, but that's only because it happens to be there. Without they black hole, they would move around the center of the Milky Way anyway.
Is it easy to get to milky way from earth?
It is very easy. Since the Earth is in the Milky Way, you don't even have to move to get to the Milky Way.
Where is the milky way located?
We are in the Milky Way. It is in the sky all around us.
Does the sun move or does it stay in one place?
The Sun moves in an orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
Which constillation does the milky was appear in the sky?
All of them. We are inside the Milky Way; the Milky Way is all around us.
Does the planets in the milky way rotate around a black hole?
Sort of. But please note that: (1) Moving around another object is called "revolving", or "orbiting", but not "rotating". (2) Planets move primarily around their stars. The stars (with all their planets) also revolve around the center of the Milky Way. (3) Stars (and everything with them) revolver around the center of the Milky Way, NOT specifically because of the black hole, whose mass is way too small for that. Stars move around the center of the Milky Way because they are attracted by all the OTHER masses in the Milky Way (of which the central black hole is only a small part). These other masses include a large amount of some yet-unknown mass, known as "dark matter".
What motion do the stars in the milky way galaxy move?
The stars in the Milky Way move in the opposite direction of the sun.
Where is the milky way found?
There's only 1 universe the milky way is a galaxy
What constellation does the milky way run through?
All of them. The Milky Way is all around us.
What constellation does the Milky Way galaxy runs through?
All of them. The Milky Way is all around us.
What is number of moons that orbit the Milky Way?
Moons do not orbit the Milky Way because they Milky Way is a galaxy. But if you are thinking about the amount of moons in the Milky Way total, it is around 1-2million. Probably even more.
What would happen if the sun moved?
The Earth and everything else in our solar system would move with it. In fact, the sun does move, since it is orbiting around the Milky Way galaxy.
