It's true that if you go in a straight line, someone on Earth will see you living about 3900 times slower than usual.
But orbit the solar system? I don't know about that. You would have to travel for about 9 days (your time).
9 days x 3900 / 365.25 = 96 years on Earth.

All of this is theory moved into a question for common folks to ponder without the necessary data to reply.
Travel at or near the speed of light is impossible at this time. We are not even close to accelerating anything to the speed of light except some neutrons in a nuclear reaction experiment. And, in case you haven't checked lately, neutrons are just so teeny tiny small that they could not possibly be your means of transportation to distant places in the Solar System. Do a little research and you will find that the fastest acceleration we have ever placed on a given man made object got it moving at about 50,000 miles per "hour", which is certainly a far cry from 186,000 miles per "second".
I suggest that your question is a matter for Sci Fi and not Astronomy buffs.

You could not orbit at that speed. The centrifugal forces would be immense.
But theoretically, if you could travel that speed, time would shorten dramatically.
But in reality, dream on. By Einsteinian math your mass would increse so much, you would need the energy of the entire galaxy to reach that velocity.
To reach light speed you would need infinite energy, so that is why it is impossible. So, it is not even worth considering.

enable's p.c.. one: the picture voltaic equipment if we stipulate that pluto's orbit is the periphery of our image voltaic equipment and that that is farthest distance in its orbit is the periphery, then that is about 7.4 billion km from the solar. it is the radius. Double that for a diameter and that is 14.8 billion. assume gentle travels about a million billion km in line with hour (type of). it would take about 14 years to bypass throughout the time of our image voltaic equipment on your difficulty. it is Budweiser Math.. so do not placed this on a school paper.

Not exactly. But it is true that time passes more slowly at higher speeds, and that it theoretically stops at the speed of light.

Well To Be more honest....It seems like you really like Sci-Fi Books..
Well u can try that for sure....
What i've heard is that if you become more faster than light you'll probably find ur self in any other Dimension.!

Depends on how long you orbit, but yes, time would slow down for you.
