Summary

Description
English: Sun's Path Around the Milky Way. An illustration showing the path of the Sun, Earth and Moon around the Milky Way. The inclinations of the Ecliptic Plane and Celestial Equator are shown with respect to the Galactic North Pole and Galactic Plane. The inclination of the moon's orbit is shown relative to the Ecliptic Plane. The Solar System traces out a sinusoidal path in its orbit around the galactic center. Using Galactic North as the initial frame of reference, the Earth and Sun rotate counterclockwise, and the Earth revolves in a counterclockwise direction around the Sun. However, the Sun and its satellites revolve CLOCKWISE around the Milky Way.
Español: Trayectoria del Sol alrededor de la Vía Láctea. Ilustración que muestra la trayectoria del Sol, la Tierra y la Luna alrededor de la Vía Láctea. Se muestran las inclinaciones del plano eclíptico y el ecuador celeste con respecto al Polo Norte Galáctico y al plano galáctico. La inclinación de la órbita de la Luna se muestra con respecto al plano eclíptico. El Sistema Solar traza una trayectoria sinusoidal en su órbita alrededor del centro galáctico. Tomando el Norte Galáctico como marco de referencia inicial, la Tierra y el Sol giran en sentido antihorario, y la Tierra gira en sentido antihorario alrededor del Sol. Sin embargo, el Sol y sus satélites giran en sentido horario alrededor de la Vía Láctea.
