How do we know the total mass of the Milky Way Galaxy that is contained within the Sun's orbital path?
We can calculate the mass of the Milky Way by analyzing our solar system's orbit around the center of the Milky Way. The only problem is, that orbit takes about 220 million years to complete, and human beings have been observing it for less than 200. So our calculations could be - probably are! - way off.
What else can I help you with?
