The Actual Way our Solar System operates! Thanks for sharing Mark Burnham!! Also- here are some Other Interesting facts: Earth Rotates (at the Equator) Aprox 1000 MPH (Much Slower at poles) Earth Orbits the Sun at Aprox 67,108 mph Our Solar System From SUN to OORT CLOUD (Outer most Shell ) IS Aprox 1 Light Year in Radius ( = 2 Light Years in Diameter)- Again, this is out to the OORT Cloud, not Pluto or the Kuiper belt The Oort cloud is a hypothetical spherical cloud of up to a trillion icy objects that surround the Solar System at roughly 50,000 AU (around 1 light-year (ly)), and possibly to as far as 100,000 AU (1.87 ly) We say that Voyager 1 has Left our solar system even though it is only at a distance of 121 AU ( the OORT cloud starts at about 2000 AU - Some estimates place the outer edge at between 100,000 and 200,000 AU (1.58 and 3.16 ly)) - this is because the Voyager has left the Heliopause where our suns Solar Wind is no longer stronger that the outside cosmic wind- and our Suns Magnetic field drastically changes shape and starts to dissipate
