DID YOU KNOW? The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way, bringing with it all the planets, asteroids, comets, and other objects in our solar system. So our entire Solar System revolves around the Milky way galaxy, just like the Earth orbits the Sun, but instead of orbiting a star, Solar system orbit around a Supermassive black hole- Sagittarius A*, at the centre of our Milky way galaxy. with an average velocity of 828,000 kilometers per hour. But even at this speed, it takes about 230 million y

WiS│Wonders in Space on Instagram: "Our solar system travels through the Milky Way as part of a much larger structure called the galactic disk. The Sun, along with its planets, orbits the center of the Milky Way due to gravity, just as Earth orbits the Sun. This motion keeps the solar system bound to the galaxy rather than moving freely through space. The Sun completes one full orbit around the Milky Way’s center in about 225–250 million years, a period known as a galactic year. During this jour

Earth sits inside a small spiral region called the Orion Arm, about 27,000 light-years away from the Milky Way’s center. Our solar system orbits an ordinary star — the Sun — in the outer suburbs of a galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars. So despite how big our planet feels to us, in the cosmic picture we’re simply one small world inside a massive spiral galaxy.

Explaining The Universe on Instagram: "The Milky Way is the spiral galaxy that contains our solar system, appearing from Earth as a faint, milky band of light stretching across the night sky. It is composed of hundreds of billions of stars, along with gas, dust, and dark matter, all organized into a rotating disk with spiral arms extending from a dense central bulge. Our solar system resides in the Orion Arm, about 27,000 light-years from the galactic center, and orbits the center at incredible
