Solar System Moving Speed

Even at this rapid speed the solar system would take about 230 million years to travel all the way around the milky way.

Solar system moving speed.

The earth you see much like all the planets in our solar system orbits the sun at a much speedier clip. What is the speed of the solar system. We find that our solar system is moving relative to the cmb at 368 2 km s. The earth spinning on its axis gives us a speed of just 0 5 km s or less than 0 001 the speed of light.

The 45 minute video titled riding light that shows leaving the solar system at the speed of light below stops at jupiter the fifth planet in our solar system. The sun is moving towards lambda herculis at 20 kilometers per second or 12 miles per second. In order to keep us in our stable orbit where we are we need to move at right around 30. The solar system is the gravitationally bound system of the sun and the objects that orbit it either directly or indirectly.

Of the objects that orbit the sun directly the largest are the eight planets with the remainder being smaller objects the dwarf planets and small solar system bodies of the objects that orbit the sun indirectly the moons two are larger than the smallest planet. The milky way too moves in space relative to other galaxies. It would be a long very long video if it shows the entire journey.
