Earth's solar system rotates around the milky way once every 230 million years?

its estimated to be 220 ~ 230 million years for the sun to rotate around the galactic core 360 degrees ... but we are about 1/2 out towards the edge of the galaxy from the galactic core ... and as such rotate slower than the most distant star ...
as such you cannot really gain how fast the galaxy is rotateing unless you know the rotation of the slowest ( or most distant ) item
we are generally ( if the galaxy were modelled on our solar system) in the position of the earth
giving our rotation of 365 days (630,000 years to one earth day)
if we imagine that the orbit of Pluto represents the extreme range of a solar body in rotation of the core
Pluto's Rotation 90,613.305 days x 630,000 = 57,000 billion years
as a point of interest The last time we were in the same place in our orbit dinosaurs were just starting to appear on the earth

Does the world rotate or revolve around the sun?
The sun is standing still, it is the earth that rotates round the sun.
How do the moon sun and earth move as a system in terms of rotation and revolution?
The Sun stays still while the Earth rotates on its axis while revolving around the Sun. The Moon rotates on its axis while revolving around the Earth.
How does the earths rotation effect the temperature of day and night?
the sun is the first one in the solar system and as the earth rotates around the sun it is also spinning so when we are in the day time Australia is at night time and because the sun is hot it gives of heat so when it is night we dont get as much heat because we are backwards from the sun.
What type of star system is earths sun?
It SOLAR SYSTEM you.....?
Does Mars rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?
Mars rotates counter-clockwise like almost all other objects in our solar system. Within our solar system, only Venus and Uranus are known to have different rotational patterns.
How big is the sun in the solar system?
About 1 million earths can fit inside of the Sun. Also, 110 Earths could fit around the equator of the Sun.
Does the sun rotates towards the center of the galaxy as every 230 million years and if all asteroids mixed together what it will be form as an celestial object?
The Sun, or the Solar System, rotates AROUND the galaxy. After 230 million years (or whatever time it takes - you should understand that's an estimate), it will return, more or less, to the position it is now.
What evidence is there for the earths revolution around the sun?
the heliocentric system and the geocentric system
How is Earth part of the system?
Because it rotates around the sun once in 24 hours.
Does the sun just stay still in th middle of the solar system then?
Yes everything in the Solar system rotates around the sun.
Does the moon rotate around earth?
No The moon roates around the earth. The earth rotates around the sun within the solar system.
Does the world rotate or revolve around the sun?
The sun is standing still, it is the earth that rotates round the sun.
Which other planet in the solar system closest in size to the earth?
Venus is closest to the Earths size and mass - often referred to as Earths sister or twin planet. Venus' Mass is around 82% of Earths, while its diameter is a little smaller than Earths at around 95% of Earths diameter.
How do the moon sun and earth move as a system in terms of rotation and revolution?
The Sun stays still while the Earth rotates on its axis while revolving around the Sun. The Moon rotates on its axis while revolving around the Earth.
Who is the sun of venus and mars?
All planets (in our solar system) have the same sun. All the planets rotate around the same sun that Earth rotates around.
Does the Milky Way rotait?
If you mean "rotate", yes, it rotates. If it didn't rotate, it would soon collapse due to its own gravity. Our Solar System takes about 240 million years for one revolution around the Milky Way - at a speed of 220 kilometers/second.
What is perihelion in solar system?
Perihelion and Aphelion are used to describe the minimum and maximum distances that a planet will be from the sun. The earths perihelion (minimum distance) is around 91.4 million miles in January, while its aphelion is around 94.5 million miles in July. These terms are only used for bodies in direct orbit around our sun, different terms are used to describe moons, and other bodies that are in orbit around something else.
