The expansion only shows up at lengths that exceed galactic dimentions. Yes, we're moving apart but you'd never measure it

Yes, all space is expanding everywhere in the universe, which is why every galaxy is seen as moving away from us. However, the gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear forces that hold our planet together are much stronger than the expansion of space. Thus, space expands all around us, but the atoms still hold together. This also accounts for why we do not move away from the sun, as the sun's gravitation keeps us steady.

No. Space expansion only occurs on a much larger scale, such as between groups of galaxies. Smaller things like the sun and planets are not affected. Gravity is keeping everything together.

interior the particular case of phantom dark capability, which has much greater detrimental tension than an basic cosmological consistent, the density of dark capability will enhance with time, inflicting the value of acceleration to enhance, premier to a steady enhance interior the Hubble consistent. as a effect, all fabric products interior the universe, commencing with galaxies and finally (in a finite time) all varieties, no count how small, will collapse into unbound uncomplicated debris and radiation, ripped aside by the phantom capability tension and shooting different than for one yet another. the top state of the universe is a singularity, as a results of fact the dark capability density and expansion fee will become countless. For a possible timeline in keeping with modern-day actual theories, see a million E19 s and greater. desire it helps!

The Universe is expanding not the Solar System.

No it isn't because the gravity atracting the earth is the same. This expansion affects the distance of seperate galaxies

The universe is expanding in a way that affects galaxies more than solar systems.

no!! space makes up all of the universe, and if universe makes up EVERYTHING, what is it expanding into? its not expanding, just moving, really.

No we are in the gravty of the sun so we move with the sun just like the moon moves with the earth.

Hardly at all. It is the galaxies that are getting further apart, not the area in galaxies.
