answers:
Athena say: Very effectively I would think.
Why, what have you noticed ??
-
quantumclaustrophobe say: Like all orbits.... it takes about 240 million years to complete an orbit, so - since the sun was 'born' - it's made about 20 laps so far.
-
Kevin say: Everything is moving.
-
Ricki say: Very slowly. It takes about 250 million years to make 1 complete orbit.

spot a say: Gravity between the centre of mass of the galaxy and our solar system keeps the solar system in orbit The solar system orbits around the centre of mass of the galaxy. Only 0.0000069 of the mass of the galaxy is concentrated in the black hole Sagittarius A* . The solar system moves in a sinusoidal way, bobbing up and down, at 500,000 mph as if it has a dark companion a few light years away and they rotate around each other.
Please note the mass of the galaxy (5.8 * 10^11 solar masses) is 145,000 times the mass of the super massive black hole Saggitarius A* (4 * 10^6 solar masss)
-
Brigalow Bloke say: At about 225 million years per orbit.
-
CarolOklaNola say: Gravity from the super-massive black hole Sagittarius A* (over 4 million solar masses) and enough lateral velocity and acceleration because of other stars, planetary systems globular and open star clusters and nebulae.\ in a sinusoidal orbit that takes 230 to 260 million
years for one cosmic year.
Right now the plane of the Solar System is tilted at a 61 to 63 degree angle to the Equatorial plane of the Milky Way Galaxy.. The Solar System is aat the outer edge of the Orion bulge in Orion spiral arm .

moondog say: a black hole, of immense energy and very very small size one might say its even a quazar
-
Nyx say: Quite nicely. Thanks for asking.

kofi say: AA.It has a circular orbit and travels at 5,000 mph.
B.It has an elliptical orbit outside the disk of the galaxy and travels at 5,000,000 mph.
C.It is orbiting at 500,000 mph, and its orbit crosses up and down through the disk of the galaxy as it travels.
