The various galaxies of the Virgo Supercluster, grouped and clustered together. Throughout it, though, the planets remain in the same plane, with no "dragging" or vortex patterns emerging. It’s estimated that our Sun’s speed is around 200–220 km/s along this journey, which is quite a large number compared both Earth's rotation speed and its speed-of-revolution around the Sun, which are both inclined at an angle to the Sun's plane-of-motion around the galaxy. All the stars, planets, gas clouds, dust grains, black holes, dark matter and more move around inside of it, contributing to and affected by its net gravity. From our vantage point, some 25,000 light years from the galactic center, the Sun speeds around in an ellipse, making a complete revolution once every 220–250 million years or so. Our Milky Way galaxy is huge, massive, and most importantly, is in motion. Rhys Taylorīecause even the Sun itself isn’t stationary. Note that the planets are all in the same plane, and are not dragging behind the Sun or forming a wake of any type. An accurate model of how the planets orbit the Sun, which then moves through the galaxy in a. There are more with observations of the sun, of Mars. These moons of Jupiter clearly orbit Jupiter and not the Earth. So what? The idea that all the planets (and the Sun) orbit the Earth isn’t as strong once you show that there are objects that orbit another planet. You will be able to see the 4 big moons of Jupiter. This is something else that Galileo did that you can repeat: see the moons of Jupiter. How can both Venus and the Sun orbit the Earth but also have Venus move farther away? Oh, this is something that Galileo saw with his telescope.Ģ/ Moons of Jupiter. You would see a “full phase” Venus when it is on the other side of the Sun. Second, as the phases change, Venus is sometimes closer to us that the Sun and sometimes farther away. First, We can see Venus because it reflects light from the Sun. What does this mean? It means two things. You would be able to see that Venus shows the same kind of phase that we see with the moon. The next time Venus is visible in the sky (the brighter star in the sky), take a look at it with some binoculars. But there are some observations you can do to determine for yourself what orbits what.ġ / Let's take the example of t he phases of Venus. We know because of all the data collected by scientist and satellites.
