does the Sun go around in the galaxy from left to right, or right to left?

Answer 1

Neither. Both. The Sun stays still, and the galaxy goes around it.

Seriously, left & right are RELATIVE to something. If you were "above" the galaxy, you would see the Sun going around the galaxy clockwise. By "above", I mean on the "North" side, and by "North", I mean the side toward which the Earth's North pole more or less points.

(By the way, the plane of the galaxy is tilted 27 degrees from the Earth's equatorial plane; that's why I say "more or less".)

Answer 2

Our rotation around the galaxy is counter-clockwise when looking down from the North Galactic Pole.

The North Galactic Pole is located in the constellation Coma Berenices.

Answer 3

It is not a one or two dimensional movement.
Also, words like right and left depend on perspective, so i guess it would depends on where you are in relation to the object, in this case the sun.
Also, very basic, from the perspective of the earth, which i'm assuming your on, we are told the earth moves around the sun, the sun appears to move as the earth spins.
Both objects also are moving in relation to the rest of the universe (can't remember the smaller words like galaxy or milky way, or nebulae)

Answer 4

Our rotation around the galaxy is clockwise when looking up from the South Galactic Pole.

The South Galactic Pole is located on the opposite side of the galactic hub from the position of constellation Coma Berenices as viewed from Earth.

Answer 5

There is no top to the galaxy, Galaxies are in all kinds of orientations. So it goes either clockwise ot counterclockwise depending on how u r looking at it.

Answer 6

Which ever you like, since up and down are arbitrary. The rotation which looks clockwise from one side is counter-clockwise from the other.

Answer 7

clockwise

Answer 8

well... it depends on how you stand in galaxy
face forward or backward

Answer 9
