How long does it take the sun to orbit the center of the galaxy?
The Sun and Solar System are about 26,000 light-years from the center of our galaxy, The Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way turns like a slowly spinning wheel and the Sun takes about 225 million years to turn with our galaxy. This is called a galactic year.
