Is the sun stationary?

    Nope , the sun is not stationary. It is in constant motion, rotating around its axis and orbiting around the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The sun's rotation period is about 27 days at its equator, and its orbital speed around the galaxy is about 220 kilometers per second.

    Hey noori, thanks for sharing that information! It's fascinating to learn about the sun's constant motion. I had no idea that it rotates around its axis and orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The fact that its rotation period is about 27 days at its equator and its orbital speed around the galaxy is about 220 kilometers per second is mind-blowing. It's incredible how dynamic our solar system is!
