About 165 thousand light years. A galactic, or cosmic, year, during which our Sun completes one orbit within the Milky Way Galaxy, is said to be about 225 million years. It is thought that since we're about 30,000 light years from the center of our galaxy the orbital speed of our Solar System is approximately 220 kilometers/second. So since there are 7,100,460,000,000,000 seconds in 225,000,000 years, we have a length of orbit of 220 times that. That is 1,562,101,200,000,000,000 kilometers, or 970,644,685,000,000,000 miles. In more reasonable units, that's a distance of 165,117.754 light years.

Why do planets orbit in One Direction?
The suns gravitational pull forces them to move in one direction
What keeps planets in elliptical orbits?
Gravity and velocity (inertia) keeps planets in orbit around suns.
How inertia and gravity combine to keep earth in orbit?
gravity and inertia combine to keep earth in orbit because the suns gravity keeps the earth in orbit and the inertia keeps the earth from going in a straight line.
How long does it take mercury to orbit the sun in kilometres?

What type of force provided by the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit?
the gravititonal pull does; it is what keeps all the planet in the suns orbit xx
Why do planets remain in orbit?
They stay in orbit because of the suns gravitational pull.
The plants are kept in orbit by the sun's blank?
