What is the effect (if any) of the sun's movement around the galactic center in relation to planetary orbits?
In general over a range in which the velocity profile is 'flat' the further out stars orbit with less angular velocity around the galactic centre.May i ask if all the stars and planets in the Galaxy rotate at the same angular velocity or the ones closer to the centre will have higher angular velocity?
Not true, such a scenario would produce a
