Orbit Facts

The Earth travels through space at 490,000 miles per hour as it orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Some asteroids have other asteroids orbiting them.

Not only are there rogue planets floating through space completely alone, not orbiting any stars, but it’s possible that these pitch-black lonely planets support life.

The last time that the Sun was in its current position in space around the Milky Way, dinosaurs ruled the Earth.
