What orbits stars?
Stars orbit the center of their galaxy due to gravity. In our solar system, planets orbit around the Sun in elliptical orbits. Additionally, binary star systems have stars that orbit around each other.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
Is the solar system about halfway between the center of the Milky Way galaxy and its outer edge?
The solar system is the Milky Way galaxy, Earth, and all other planets and galaxies are the solar system.
Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.
What is the nearest galaxy to the solar system?
The closest galaxy that has planets is the Andromeda galaxy. It is the nearest galactic neighbor to the earth. The Milky Way has other planets too.
How many times has the solar system orbited the center of the Galaxy since the Sun and the planets were formed?
At about 225,000 years per revolution, that would work out to about 20 times - give or take.
How many times has your solar system orbited the center of the galaxy since planet Earth was formed?
Earth orbits the galatic core once every 230 million years.
What do the Sun and planets spin around?
The center of the galaxy.
How many times has the sun orbited the center of your galaxy?
Approximately 20 times. See related link and question
How did planets get to the Milky Way?
The planets were formed in the Milky Way. Our Galaxy (Milky Way) is older than the planets of our solar system.
What orbits stars?
Stars orbit the center of their galaxy due to gravity. In our solar system, planets orbit around the Sun in elliptical orbits. Additionally, binary star systems have stars that orbit around each other.
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 far is the galaxy from the planets?
The planets are part of the galaxy.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
Direct center of the galaxy?
The direct center of the galaxy varies constantly based on the movement of planets, stars, and celestial objects. The center of most galaxies is based on a large star or planet but may simply be an open space.
What is the orbit of the sun due to gravity?
The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).
Where is the sun and your solar system located?
The sun is at the center of our solar system. It makes up 99.85% of the mass of our solar system, and due to the way gravity works, this keeps it at the center and everything else spinning around it.
