Is Our Solar System Moving Away From The Center Of Our Galaxy

The solar system moves through the galaxy with about a 60 angle between the galactic plane and the planetary orbital plane.

Is our solar system moving away from the center of our galaxy.

It is bound to the galaxy by the gravitational attraction and is certainly not leaving. I think the orbit is roughly circular so it is neither moving significantly toward or away from the galactic center. Our entire solar system orbits around the center of the about once every 230 million years. Our solar system is orbiting around the center of mass of the milky way galaxy.

Earth and its neighbors don t orbit within the plane of the galaxy. It takes about 200 million years to complete one orbit. From there the sun orbits the center of the milky way galaxy bringing the planets asteroids comets and other objects along with it. The megastructure could shift the position of the sun dragging earth and other.

One option to avoid destruction would be to move our whole solar system out of the way using a stellar engine. The fact that nearly all galaxies are moving away from us with more distant ones moving faster helped us to conclude that. From the fact that virtually every galaxy is moving away from us and more distant galaxies are moving away from us at a faster rate than closer ones we conclude that the universe is expanding. Over the 4 5 billion year history of the solar system our sun due to the process of nuclear fusion has lost approximately 0 03 of its original mass.

Comparable to the mass of saturn.
