The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are the two giants in our local group. These two galaxies will collide, but neither one can be said to orbit the other. In some instances smaller galaxies might "orbit" a giant cluster, with periods measured in billions of years. Galaxies in general do not orbit anything. Instead they are all simply spreading further and further apart as the universe expands.

How long does it take for the sun to orbit around the milky way?

The Sun takes about 225 to 250 million years to complete one orbit around the Milky Way galaxy, a period often referred to as a "cosmic year" or "galactic year." This journey occurs as the Sun moves through the galaxy's spiral arms and is influenced by the gravitational forces of other stars and the galaxy's structure.

How long does it take the sun to around the milky way?

Here's the problem the milky way is a galaxy which has thousand to millions of stars so its not possible to revolve. But we are in a spiral galaxy which has, lets say arms lines of the gases and stars so to orbit through to the middle will be about 15 billion years


How long does it take a galaxy to make one full rotation?

millions of years, but it varies with location is the galaxy. for example in the milky way our solar system orbits once every 225 million years but stars further out orbit slower and those further in orbit faster.
