Is Our Solar System Moving Through Space
This is a non conven.
Is our solar system moving through space. The solar system isn t a vortex but rather the sum of all our great cosmic motions. Even at this rapid speed the solar system would take about 230 million years to travel all the way around the milky way. The sun and the whole solar system is not orbiting the center of the milky way galaxy. Please consider becoming a patron to support my work.
So although earth orbits the sun at 66 600 mph and the sun orbits the milky way at 514 500 mph our solar system s speed relative to the cmb is about 827 000 mph. The earth you see much like all the planets in our solar system orbits the sun at a much speedier clip. But rather that we are moving through space. The milky way too moves in space relative to other galaxies.
It may appear that way but it is not rotating around its center. Thanks to the incredible science of astronomy and astrophysics we at last understand to tremendous precision. What it purports to show is the motion of the solar system through space. And can quantify exactly how fast we re moving through space on.
The solar system is constantly falling on the central buldge of the milky way galaxy. From the planet to our solar system to the milky way and beyond we re in motion with respect to the rest of the universe.
