Orbital Rotation

Sun, Satellite, and Atomic Model Comparison

Speeds of the Sun's Motion

• Rotation on its Axis: 1,240 mph
• Orbital Speed Around the Milky Way: 514,000 mph
• Movement Relative to Nearby Stars: 43,500 mph
• Motion Towards Andromeda: 246,000 mph

Direction of Motion

The Sun rotates counterclockwise on its axis and orbits the center of the Milky Way towards the Solar Apex, located in the direction of the constellation Hercules.

Atomic Model Overview

In an atom, electrons rotate around the nucleus, represented here by a red circle. This motion is governed by electromagnetic forces, creating stable configurations similar to celestial orbits.

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars, and the Sun is just one of them. Its movement through the galaxy is part of a larger cosmic dance influenced by gravitational interactions and the dynamics of the galaxy's structure.
