Video: Solar system flies in the universe at breakneck speed

When we were young we were taught that the Sun stood still, Earth and planets, another star in our solar system orbited around it. That is only true in the latter, the first is not accurate because in fact our whole solar system is traveling in this infinite universe, at a rate of about 1 million miles per hour, equivalent to 1, 61 million km / hour, ie nearly 45,000 km / sec.

Picture 1 of Video: Solar system flies in the universe at breakneck speed

Our Earth rotates around its axis at a rate of about 1000 miles per hour, and it rotates around the Sun at a rate of about 67,000 miles per hour. Small stars at the edge of the solar system also fly around the fireball at about 43,000 miles per hour. Even the Milky Way is traveling in space at speeds of up to 1.3 million miles per hour (nearly 2.1 million kilometers per hour).

Therefore, almost no object is truly stationary in the universe, although they still maintain relative distances, these entities are still flying very fast in this universe somewhere mysteriously.
