basic solar motion

Solar motion refers to the calculated movement of the Sun relative to a specific reference frame. This motion provides insights into the Sun's movement among its galactic neighbors and the kinematic properties of different star types. Astronomers can determine solar motion by analyzing stars' radial velocities, proper motions, or space motions.1234

The Sun's motion relative to nearby stars is approximately 19.5 km/sec. This movement is considered typical for its stellar class. The Sun also orbits the center of the Milky Way Galaxy at about 828,000 kilometers per hour and moves with the galaxy within the Local Group of galaxies at approximately 1.1 million kilometers per hour. The entire solar system is moving towards the constellation Leo at a velocity of 370 km/sec relative to the universe.15
