Is our solar system moving?

Answer 1

Of course it does!

It moves around the center of our galaxy!

Answer 2

yes indeed ,our solar system is moving.
sun is the star in our solar system and the nine planets ,ups sorry ,eight planets move around the sun.
so the sun the eight planets form a system.
it has been proved that since big bang our universe is expanding, meaning the galaxies and stars are moving away from each other
[from spectroscopic analysis of light from distant stars as the light wavelength tends to decrease on reaching the earth which mens that the star is receding away{relative velocity is V+v}]
so obviously our solar system is also moving as per this universally accepted theory.

Answer 3

Yes it is... Or at least we think we are. The Lick Proper Motion Survey was conducted in the 1950's and repeated again 20 years later. It was conducted with the Carnegie telescope at Lick Observatory in California. It photographed the entire night sky twice. The photos from the '50's and '70's were compared and showed that the stars around us are moving and we can assume that we are moving as well.

From what we can tell, not only are we orbiting the center of our galaxy, we are also osolating up and down as we orbit. In addition to that, we are also moving with our galaxy as it moves away from most other galaxies.

Answer 4

yes .. as long as the universe expands !! everything is moving .. every body in the solar system is moving now .. rotating around itself and orbiting around the sun .. the whole system is moving since the sun is moving too .. The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy at a distance of approximately 25,000 to 28,000 light-years from the galactic center, completing one revolution in about 225–250 million years. The orbital speed is 217 km/s, equivalent to one light-year every 1,400 years, and one AU every 8 days.[

Answer 5

Solar system is situated on the outskirts of our Galaxy , the Milky way.Just as the planets have to keep orbiting to prevent falling into the sun, the sun along with its family goes around the centre of the Galaxy. Mind you , this motion is part of the Galaxy.

Answer 6

Yes becuase its inside of the Galaxy which is slowly moving away from everything. But Scienetis think that the Gravity will eventyally pull everything back into a reverse Big Bang.-

Answer 7

Yes we orbit the black hole at the center of the galaxy, the Milky Way at about a million miles an hour, and it takes about a billion years to complete an orbit.

The Milky Way is also orbiting around our galactic cluster around something called the "Great Attractor". We're not sure what it is other than that is... exerting enough attractive force to pull hundreds of galaxies around it's orbit ;)

Answer 8

our solar system is moving with the sun in a slow screw-like movement. i saw that once on tv. anyway, it also moves together with our arm in the milky way galaxy, around the galaxy center.

Answer 9

As Eric Ilde sung in the film The Meaning of Life ,,,

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
and revolving at 900 miles an hour,
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
the sun that is the source of all our power.
The Sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way.

Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars,
it's 100,000 light-years side-to-side,
It bulges in the middle, 16 000 light-years thick,
but out by us it's just 3 000 light-years wide.
We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point,
we go round every 200 million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
in this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
in all of the directions it can whizz,
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know,
twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
how amazingly unlikely is your birth,
Pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
because there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Answer 10

Yes. All planets, star systems, galaxies, galaxy clusters, and super clusters move, for they all abide and are aligned with a moving universe. It is a law of the physical universe.

Answer 11

Yes, its circling around the center of our galaxy which is being pulled around by forces we can't even imagine.

Scientests predict that hundreds of billions of years from now the Milky Way will crash into a nearby galaxy, but we'll never know will we?
