Is Our Solar System Moving

So if you combine the motion of the planets around the sun with the motion of the whole solar system around the center of the galaxy you do get a kind of.

Is our solar system moving. In order to keep us in our stable orbit where we are we need to move at right around 30. The earth you see much like all the planets in our solar system orbits the sun at a much speedier clip. The sun rotates as it orbits the center of the milky way. Our solar system is moving along with the galaxy of course.

But since the nearest star is many light years away i would not concern myself with that too much. Yes but in a relative sort of way. Of the objects that orbit the sun directly the largest are the eight planets with the remainder being smaller objects the dwarf planets and small solar system bodies of the objects that orbit the sun indirectly the moons two are larger than the smallest planet. If we ignore the earth s rotation and revolution around the sun we find that our solar system is moving relative to the cmb at 368 2 km s.

It is also moving though rather slowing within the galaxy. But it is true that the whole solar system is moving around the center of the galaxy and the plane of the solar system is tilted about 60 circ compared to the plane of the galaxy. The solar system is the gravitationally bound system of the sun and the objects that orbit it either directly or indirectly. Our orbital speed.

When you throw in the motion of the local group you. Another piece of evidence for the sun centered solar system comes. The sun and the solar system appear to be moving at 200. Is not the only motion we have in space.

We do not have a good grasp of other existing planetary systems to be able to answer the second part of your question.
