the sun is not in the center of earth's orbit because the sun's magnetic field changes from place to place and so earth orbits the sun at different orbital shape mostly oval so sometimes the sun is closer and sometimes it is a bit farer.

Where in the galaxy is the sun located and how long does it take the sun to orbit its galaxy?

The Sun - and the Solar System - are about 26,000 light-years from the Milky Way's center. It takes an estimated 225 million years to go once around the galaxy.


Did Shapley used the distribution of globular clusters in the galaxy to determine that the Sun was not at the center of the Milky Way?

Yes, Shapley used the distribution of globular clusters in the galaxy to show that the center of the Milky Way was located much farther away than previously thought. By studying the positions and distances of these clusters, he was able to demonstrate that the Sun was not at the center of the galaxy.


How many light years is the sun from the Galaxy center?

Somewhere around 26,000 light-years.


Is hour world going to the center of the galaxy or what is the same black hole?

We (our Solar System) are going around the center of the galaxy; we are in orbit around the galaxy. This is not much different from the Earth going in an orbit around the Sun. The black hole at the center doesn't change anything; it is just one object more that has some mass - an insignificant amount of mass, compared to the remainder of the galaxy.We (our Solar System) are going around the center of the galaxy; we are in orbit around the galaxy.

How far away is the black hole in the centre of your galaxy?

The black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 26,000 light-years away from Earth. It is known as Sagittarius A* and has a mass equivalent to about 4 million times that of our sun.

Does the sun orbit something?

Yes, the sun is orbiting the center of the galaxy. what? that's a load of rubbish, it IS the center of the galaxy. the MILKY WAY galaxy, that's why there IS a galaxy, because its gravitational pull pulled planets into orbit, thus CREATING one!


How does the sun and earth move?

They move because they are both gravitationally bound. The Sun is bound to the Milky Way Galaxy and the Earth is bound to the Sun. Another way to put it is that they revolve around each others common center of gravity. What this mean is that, in the case of the Earth, it is falling toward the Sun's center of gravity but for every foot the Earth moves toward the Sun's center, the Sun moves a foot out of the way. The Sun is moving because it is falling toward the center of our galaxy. Again, it would make it to the center of our galaxy but for one reason. Our galaxy is moving toward the center of the Virgo Super Cluster.
