Nobody knows. Motion is relative to some fixed unmoving point (at least for the purposes of that problem). A car has a speed of 50 miles per hour. This is relative to the surface of the earth. We pretend the earth is not moving but we know it is moving around the sun. When discussing the speed of the earth we pretend the sun is not moving, but it is moving around the center of our galaxy. Our galaxy is not even stationary. E. Hubble discovered that the universe is expanding and galaxies are moving away from each other. There is no absolute motion, so there is no absolute speed, nor even absolute time according to the theory of relativity.

According to WIKIPEDIA the sun moves at a rate of about 220 km/s relative to the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The sun moves at 20 km/s relative to other stars in our region. But in relation to the Cosmic Background Radiation, the sun moves at about 370 km/s. So pick one.

In 1 day there is 60x60x24 = 86400 seconds.

Relative to the center of the Milky Way, the sun moves 220 x 86400 =

19,008,000 kilometers in one day.

What is the orbital far point?

The orbital far point, or aphelion, is the point in an object's orbit around the sun where it is farthest away from the sun. This is in contrast to the perihelion, which is the point in the orbit where the object is closest to the sun.


How far can a ray of light travel in a day?

A ray of light can travel approximately 93 million miles in one day, which is the distance from the Earth to the Sun. This distance is equivalent to about 1 astronomical unit (AU).

When will people travel to the sun?

People have walked on the moon so I think the sun is our next big project. I dont know when people will travel to the sun because it is really far away. The sun is really really hot in the day time, so I think that when they go to the sun they have travel to it at night so they dont burn. Hope this helps! People will never be able to travel to the sun because it is too hot. Any attempt to get near would end in disaster as due to the heat a space craft would burn.

Why cant you point the Hubble Telescope at Mercury?

Hubble can't be pointed anywhere near the sun without being damaged. Mercury and Venus never travel far from the sun which is why they only ever appear in the early evening/early morning sky.
