it is so we get hours,days,weeks,months,years and leap years
Well, no. That is what happens when the planet earth orbits the sun.
Our sun doesn't exactly orbit the Milky Way. Rather, it travels along with it along one edge.
Big, compared to what? The Milky Way is what it is, hundreds of billions of stars that have formed more or less together. The question is, why isn't it bigger?
We believe that many galaxies collide and merge; the Hubble has taken many photos of galaxies about to merge, merging, and recently merged. Our Milky Way galaxy may be one such; some astronomers claim to see up to 4 other "recently swallowed" smaller galaxies within it. And in about 4 billion years, we expect that the Milky Way will collide with and merge with the Andromeda galaxy.
Everything in the universe moves under the influence of gravity, and the gravity of an entire galaxy is quite powerful. The Sun is part of the Milky Way, and like everything else, orbits the center of the Milky Way.
Because the Milky Way is the galaxy that life is in. We also know so much about the Milky Way and it's contents such as the stars, planets, and solar systems.
And if you are talking about the candy bar, it's because it has a Milk Chocolate shell baked around sweet, melted caramel. and every bite is like taking a bite out of Jesus.
because there are many stars
At the centre.
Well, the sun is in the Milky Way...
No, the sun is one of the most important parts of the milky way. If the milky way didn’t have a sun than are universe would not currently be in existenc. The sun would have already exploded if it was not part of the Milky Way .
The Sun is already in the Milky Way
The Milky way.
The better question would be: Where is our Sun in relation to the Milky Way? Our Sun is located on one of the Milky Way's spirals, about halfway.
no. the sun is a star and the milky way is a galaxy.
Milky Way Galaxy, Sun, Earth
Yes, the Milky Way is much much larger than our Sun. The Sun is part of the Milky Way, and is one of over 200 billion stars in the Milky Way.
Milky way is the galaxy in which our Earth and the parent star Sun are located.
we are in the milky way
Ummmmm the sun is not near the Edge of the milky way.The milky way is just the milky way.The milky way is spiral anyways? not being mean
The Sun. Seriously, the Sun is a star and we are in the Milky Way.
