The orbital plane of a stellar system can be oriented in any way in relation to the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy. Our solar system, for example, is almost perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy.

What are all 5 motions?

The five motions of the earth are 1. Axial rotation 2. Lunar co-orbital (Earth and Moon rotate around a central point together) 3. Solar orbital 4. Procession (the axis of the Earth wobbling) 5. Galactic (the Solar system orbits around the Milky Way galaxy)


What direction is the orbital and rotational motion of most of the objects in the solar system?

To the east, but Venus and Uranus' rotation is to the west.


The earth and your solar system is orbiting the center of the milky way galaxy?

Yes, with an orbital period of around 220 million years.


What is the fastest revolving planet?

I don't believe we have rotation information about any planets outside the Solar System yet (orbital characteristics, yes; rotation, no). In the Solar System, Jupiter has the shortest rotational period at a little under 10 hours.


Which outer planets rotate on their sides?

Uranus is the only outer planet (and only planet in our solar system) that rotates on its side.


Is the plane of your solar system's revolving planets perpendicular to or parallel to the plane of your galaxy's rotation?

Neither; the ecliptic, the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun, is inclined to the galactic plane by about 60 degrees. The galactic plane is easy to see; it is the path of the Milky Way across the night sky.


Which planet in the solar system has the axis of rotation tilted parallel to the plane of solar system?

Uranus is the planet in the solar system that has its axis of rotation tilted parallel to the plane of the solar system. This extreme axial tilt of about 98 degrees causes Uranus to rotate on its side, leading to unique seasonal changes. As a result, its poles experience prolonged periods of sunlight and darkness during its lengthy orbit around the Sun.


What is a solar system or a galaxy?

Solar system is a system not a galaxy. It is located in Milky Way galaxy.


What kind of rotation is called prograde?

Having a rotational or orbital movement that is the same as most bodies within a celestial system. In our solar system, prograde movement for both rotating and orbiting bodies counterclockwise when viewed from a vantage point above the Earth's north pole.


Most of the angular momentum of the solar system is found in the?

The majority of the angular momentum of the solar system is found within the orbital motion of the planets around the Sun. This motion results in the spinning of the planets on their axes and the overall rotation of the solar system as a whole.


Which is larger our solar system or a galaxy?

A galaxy. Our solar system, along with billions of others, is in our galaxy.


What is a galaxy and in which galaxy is the solar system located?

a galaxy is a huge city of stars and the solar system is located in the milky way galaxy that's our galaxy!
