Our Sun is not stationary. It participates in a cosmic dance, slowly orbiting the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Each orbit takes roughly 225 million years. At 4.6 billion years old, the Sun has already completed about 20 full orbits and has around 22 more before it exhausts the hydrogen in its core\u2014in roughly 5 billion years. When that happens, the Sun will enter its red giant phase, expanding and possibly engulfing the inner planets, including Earth. Eventually, it will shed its outer layers and settle into its final stage as a white dwarf\u2014a dense, hot remnant of its former self. #CosmicJourney #SolarSystem #StellarEvolution #MilkyWay
