does the sun move in anyway?

Answer 1

Yes. It is rotating at a rate of about one revolution every 25 days. It is also moving through space--carrying the earth with it--within the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way Galaxy is moving through space also. The sun also wobbles as a result of earth's gravitational effects.

Answer 2

The sun moves all the time. Motion is relative. For example, you could be sitting still, yet you are still moving in relation to the moon or the sun or any other outside body. The sun moves in relation to the galaxy and to the universe.

Answer 3

Motion is relative. Everything moves in relation to something. The sun moves in relation to the center of the universe (where ever that is).

Answer 4

no it doesn't. That is it is said that anything that orbits around the sun is a planet. Remember that the sun is a star

Answer 5

Although only 6, 7 and 8, apply here, here is a list of motions on the earths surface.

1. CONTINENTAL DRIFT

The continental land masses sit on enormous slabs of rock that slide' over the basaltic ocean floor very slowly, at the rate of 1 to 8 in. per year. Many geologists believe that all of earth's land broke away from one supercontinent, called Pangaea, about 230 million years ago. North America is gradually moving westward, away from Europe, at the rate of 3 in. per year. As a result, the Atlantic Ocean is now 120 ft. wider than it was when Columbus sailed it in 1492.

2. EARTH'S ROTATION ON ITS AXIS

Daily rotation is the only motion of the earth that all of us can observe directly, simply by watching the sun or moon rise or set. In each 24-hour rotation, the earth revolves at 1,035 mph, as measured at the equator. However, the friction of the ocean tides against the earth's surface has been slowing our planet's rotation by l/l Coo second per century. Thus, 2 million years ago, when our distant ancestors were alive the earth's slightly faster rate of rotation made their day 20 seconds shorter than ours.

3. PRECESSION OF THE EARTH'S AXIS

Because it bulges slightly at the equator, the earth moves like a spinning top as it responds to the gravitational pulls of the sun and the moon. This spinning motion, called precession, causes the North Pole to trace a circular path which takes 26,000 years to complete. As Id North Pole moves along this path, the earth's orientation to the stars constantly changes, so that by 14,000 A.D. the star Vega will have replace Polaris as the North Star.

4. POLAR VARIATION

The earth rocks vary slightly with relation to the North and South poles, making the position of each pole wander in a circle with a 10-to-50-ft. diameter. Called the Chandler Wobble, after the Massachusetts businessman who discovered it, the poles' motion may result from movements of the atmosphere. The Chandler Wobble shifts any given latitude - the imaginary lines measuring the distance toward or away from the equator—by several feet during its cycle of 14 months.

5. EARTH’S REVOLUTION AROUND THE SUN

The earth is following it’s elliptical orbit around the sun at 19 mi. per sec., or 68,000 mph. Astronomers define various types of years, but our familiar one is the tropical year, based on the seasons. Lasting 365 days, 5 hr., 48 min., and 46 sec., the tropical year is the time between the sun's passage through two spring equinoxes (e.g., Mar. 21,1981, to Mar. 21, 1982). The fact that the tropical year does not contain an exact number of days has required the invention of leap year.

6. MOTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM THROUGH THE GALAXY

With respect to the neighboring stars in this area of the Milky Way galaxy, the sun and its solar system are zooming along at 12.4 mi. per sec. (43,200 mph) in the direction of the star Vega in the constellation Lyra.

7. REVOLUTION AROUND THE CENTER OF THE GALAXY

Our solar system is located in one of the Milky Way's spiral arms, two thirds of the distance from its central core. It is revolving around the galaxy's center at a velocity of 155 to 185 mi. per sec., in the general direction of the constellation Cygnus. Every 225 million years the solar system completes one revolution, called a cosmic year, and thus far the earth has passed through 25 cosmic years. Only one galactic year ago, the first small dinosaurs were evolving.

8. THE GALAXY'S MOTION THROUGH THE UNIVERSE

Recent measurements of variations in the universe's background radiation indicate that the Milky Way galaxy and neighboring galaxies are hurtling through space at 375 mi. per sec., or 1.3 million mph. When the earth's other motions are taken into account, the earth has a net motion of 250 mi. per sec., or 900,000 mph, in the direction of the Constellation Leo.

Answer 6

Motion is relative.

For all we know, the universe could be moving at 99.9% the speed of light through some container...

Answer 7

the sun doesn't move ,its the planets and other celestial bodies like the moon that move

Answer 8

Everything moves!
