What else can I help you with?
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.
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 does the milky way black hole do?
The black hole at the center of the Milky Way, known as Sagittarius A*, has a mass about four million times that of the Sun. It exerts a strong gravitational pull on surrounding objects and stars, causing them to orbit around it. Gas and dust falling into the black hole give off energy and radiation, making it detectable to telescopes.
What does Mercury orbit around?
I think that it is the Sun because everything in our solar system, which is the Milky Way, revolves around the Sun.
What is the orbit of the sun due to gravity?
The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).
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.
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.
What items orbit the sun?
Items that orbit the Sun are satilites, rocks and other planets in 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.
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.
How long does it take the milky way to orbit the sun?
About 250 million years.
What keeps the sun from floating away from the galaxy?
Gravity. From the Milky Way in this case.
Why does the sun orbit the center of the galaxy?
Gravity! If the Sun (and all other stars and objects in the Milky Way) didn't orbit the center, they would eventually fall in to the central super-massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
How long does it take for the sun to orbit the milky way once?
~ 300 million years.
How are earth and the milky way different?
The earth is one of the eight planets we have in our solar system and the Milky Way is the galaxy in which our orbit of the sun takes place.
What is the Milky Way's job?
The Milky Way's job is to serve as the home galaxy of our solar system, providing a gravitational anchor that keeps our sun and other celestial bodies in orbit. It also acts as a source of inspiration and wonder for astronomers and stargazers alike.
