The solar system does not follow a Keplerian path (i.e., conic section) about the galaxy. Keplerian orbits arise in system comprising a single large central mass with all other objects having inconsequential mass. While the galaxy does have a large central mass, the mass of that singularity (~4.1 million solar masses) is but a small fraction of the total mass of the galaxy (~580 billion solar masses).Philosophaie said:I would like the orbit the Sun makes around the galactic center of the Milky Way Galaxy! All I need is just two vectors: the velocity of the Sun in the reference frame of the singularity and the radius of the Sun to the singularity in the reference frame of the singularity.
The Galactic Center is the rotational center of our Milky Way galaxy. It is located approximately 26,000 light years away from Earth and is a supermassive black hole with a mass of about 4 million times that of our sun.
The orbit around the Galactic Center refers to the path that objects, such as stars and planets, take as they revolve around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
It takes the Earth approximately 225-250 million years to complete one orbit around the Galactic Center. This is known as a galactic year or cosmic year.
Scientists study the orbit around the Galactic Center through various methods, such as observing the movements of stars and gas clouds, measuring the gravitational effects on surrounding objects, and using computer simulations to model the orbit.
Studying the orbit around the Galactic Center can help us better understand the structure and evolution of our galaxy. It can also provide insight into the behavior of supermassive black holes and the effects of their gravitational pull on surrounding objects.
