Is the sun moving or is it static?

Nothing in our universe is static. The Sun moves in at least four ways. It rotates on it axis (spins) and it also moves in an orbit around the center of the galaxy (milky way). The galaxy, and thus the Sun, is moving through space within the cluster of galaxies it is a member of, and this cluster moves through space towards another larger cluster of galaxies.


How do we know space is expanding?

Its quite simple. Just observe the galaxies and u will find that galaxys are moving away with each other this concludes that universe is expanding


Why does a expanding universe make more sense than a static universe?

Measurements of Doppler shift indicate that nearly all of the galaxies outside of our own cluster are moving away from us.


Are galaxys moving away from each other which means the universe is contracting?

No.More specifically:Not all galaxies are moving away from each other. The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are moving towards each other (and at a pretty good clip, too: about 300 km/s). The entire "local group" of galaxies is moving in the general direction of something called the "Shapley Supercluster".Very distant galaxies do tend to be moving away from each other, but that means the universe is expanding, not contracting.


Does our galaxy orbit anything in the universe?

Yes, our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a group of galaxies called the Local Group. Within the Local Group, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy are the two largest galaxies and they are actually moving towards each other. It is believed that the Local Group is also moving towards the Virgo Cluster, a larger cluster of galaxies. So, in a sense, our galaxy is moving within the universe, but it is not orbiting around a single object like a planet orbits a star.


How do you stop falling through platforms in Lego universe?

By standing in the middle and not moving until your at the top


Are the different galaxies in your universe moving and if so in which direction?

No matter in which direction we look, all of the galaxies outside of our "local cluster"are moving away from the earth. And get this ... the farther a galaxy already isfrom us, the faster it's moving away from us.It looks as if we're in the center of everything, and everything is spreading out andmoving away from us. On the other hand, no matter where in the universe an observer might be, it would appear to them that they were at the center, and everything was moving away from them.


Are all galaxies moving away from ours because your galaxy is at the center of the universe?

Other galaxies are moving away because the universe is expanding, but we are not at the centre of the universe.


Is the milky way moving to abel cluster?

There are about 37 Abel Clusters


Moon revolves around earth and earth revolves around sun and sun revolves around galatic centre does the galaxy revolve around anything?

The galaxy doesn't revolve around anything; it is slowly moving toward the other galaxys within our galaxy cluster as they are all bound by gravity. Galaxies of other clusters are moving away from us at 70km/s/megaparsec, (known as the Hubble constant) due to the expansion of the universe. This process is fueled by Dark Energy. I thought I'd give you an actual answer- not that the revolving around God one wasn't good... for laughs. Objects 1 Megaparsec away move at 70km/s. Objects 2 Megaparsecs away move at 140km/s The universe is homogenious and isotropic; It has no center and no edge.


Why the sun moves?

no the sun doesn't move. Actually in addition to rotating around the sun, our galaxy is also moving through the universe.


How fast are galaxies moving away from each other in the expanding universe?

Galaxies in the expanding universe are moving away from each other at speeds proportional to their distance, with more distant galaxies moving faster. This phenomenon is known as the expansion of the universe.
