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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
How many years does the Sun take to orbit the center of the milky way?
Astronomers have calculated that it takes the Sun 226 million years to completely orbit around the center 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.
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.
In which direction do we orbit the Milky Way?
We orbit the Milky Way galaxy in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from above the galactic plane. This orbital motion takes hundreds of millions of years to complete one full orbit around the center of the Milky Way.
What revolves around the Milky Way galaxy?
There are two satellite galaxies, the Greater Magellanic Cloud and the Lesser Magellanic Cloud, which orbit the Milky Way.
Is the sun in an orbit like a planet?
Yes, the Sun is in orbit around the Milky Way, with a distance of about 26,000 light years.
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 moon travel in orbit?
Yes. The Moon travels in orbit around the Earth, at the same time that the Earth travels in orbit around the Sun, at the same time that the Sun travels in orbit around the Milky Way, etc.
What are two major ways earth moves in space?
1) Rotation around its axis 2) Orbit around the Sun 3) Orbit around the center of the Milky Way
How many galaxies did. Earth orbit?
The Earth, along with the Sun and all the other planets orbit around the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy.
