What else can I help you with?
Where is the sun positioned from the way of the center of the galaxy?
The Sun is about 27,000 light years from the galactic center (just head down Orions Arm towards Vega, take a left - you can't miss it).
How far is our sun from the center of the galaxy in light years?
The Galactic centre is about 27,000 light years from us.
Does the sun orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy?
No, the sun does not orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy. The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.
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 rotate IN AN ORBIT around far celestial bodies?
The Sun orbits the center of gravity of the Milky Way Galaxy as a whole, if that's what you mean.
Is the sun apart of the milky way?
Yes , our Sun is part of the Milky Way galaxy ; it is positioned in the Orion Arm of the MWG .
What is the sun's motion?
The Sun is part of the Milky Way galaxy, and orbits the center of the galaxy in about 220 million years.
What do the Sun and planets spin around?
The center of the galaxy.
Approximately how far is the sun from the center of the galaxy?
Estimates vary, but the average value is somewhere around 8 kpc (about 26,000 light years).
Is the sun in the center of the galaxy?
No. The sun is in the centre of our solar system. In the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way, there is probably a black hole.
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.
