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.


Which travels planet or the sun?

In our solar system, planets travel faster because their mass is much smaller than the Sun, so they orbit the Sun while the latter remains relatively in the same place. It is more accurate to say both the planets and the Sun orbit a common center of gravity - but in this context, the Sun moves less. It is of note that the solar system itself is also in a long slow orbit around the galactic center - so in a real sense, the entire solar system is moving; the Milky Way galaxy also shares an orbit around a galactic cluster, and on a larger scale, also within a supercluster, all of which have their own motion.


How long does Saturn take to orbit the planets in the solar system?

Saturn orbits the Sun like the other planets, it does not orbit anything else. One orbit for Saturn takes 29.4571 Earth years.

Why is the solar system also called the milky way?

We are smaller than a speck relative to the galaxy itself. Not every planetary system in the galaxy is oriented in the same way. The Milky Way appears as it does because of the inclination of earth's equatorial plane (celestial equator) to the galactic plane. We are near the galactic plane, but it would be stranger than strange if every planet in the galaxy had its equatorial plane or ecliptic right on the galactic plane.

What links the solar system and the Milky Way?

Gravity. The Sun and our solar system are one tiny part of the Milky Way, and about as significant as a single grain of sand on a very long beach.


Is the Milky Way part osf the solor system?

NO, it is the solar system whichis part of the Milky Way Galaxy. There's also the faint band of many stars that's called the Milky Way. That's a long way from the solar system, but within the Milky Way Galaxy.


How long does it takes the solar system to revolve round the milky way?

30 days


What is the oldest planet in the milky way?

All the planets in the solar system are approximately the same age. Extrasolar planets are all approximately the same age as the star they orbit. Population II (low metallicity) stars are the oldest stars, but they're unlikely to have planets.


How long does it take for our solar system to complete one orbit around the Milky Way galaxy?

Oh, what a delightful question. It takes our lovely solar system approximately 225 to 250 million years to complete one orbit around the Milky Way galaxy. That's just nature taking its time to dance through the vast expanse of space. Keep painting those cosmic wonders, and let your curiosity soar like a happy little cloud!
