How many light years away from earth is galactic center?

The galactic center, where the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* is located, is approximately 26,000 light-years away from Earth. This region lies in the constellation Sagittarius and is surrounded by dense clouds of gas and dust that obstruct visible light observations.


How many galactic years old is the Earth?

Well, the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old, which might seem like a big number, but in galactic terms, it's just a blink of an eye. Every year adds beauty and history to our world, just like every brushstroke adds wonders to a painting.


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


What is a planet 4.6 billion years old?

That's the age of our Solar System, so you can expect all the planets in our Solar System to have approximately that age.


How did the solar system form 4.5 billon years ago?

The sun was likely created about 5 billion years ago along with the Earth and later the moon. Because it is not a SOLAR system without a sun, this means that the solar system itself was created around this time

Is your solar system moving?

Yes. The Sun, and the whole solar system, are orbiting the center of the Milky Way galaxy, with a period of about 220 million years. So by that count, the Sun is about 25 "galactic years" old!

What is the positon of the solar system?

Our solar system is located near the galactic plane (about 14 light years from it, whereas the Milky Way is about 1,000 light years thick) at around 26,000-28,000 light years from the galactic core, on a spur of one of the spiral arms known as the Orion Arm. The orbital plane of the planets in our solar system (ecliptic) is inclined about 60 degrees to the Milky Way's galactic plane.


Who long does it take our solar system to orbit the milky way galaxy?

About 200-250 million earth years. This is known as a Cosmic Year or a Galactic Year,
