This animation claims that as the Solar System moves through the galaxy, it makes a vortex shape, pulling the planets behind it as it does. That is inaccurate. The Solar System isn’t a vortex, but rather the sum of all our great cosmic motions. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(1-4-13) Author

The animation is correct. The vast majority of space is empty, even within a galaxy. It would have been nice for it to zoom out to make it clear we are orbiting in the Milky Way, but it’s still valid nonetheless [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(8-2-2) Author

A Saturn year is 29 1/2 earth years and a Uranus year is over 80. Neptune’s trip around the sun is almost 165 years. At the speed those planets are moving the inner planets should be a blur.

The solar system as well as our whole galaxy orbit around a super massive black hole. The Sun isn't taking us anywhere. It also doesn't move in a straight path. The planets and all objects of the solar system also pull the Sun and one another towards them in all directions. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(16-0-11) Author

NNN. Post is an opinion, whether the animation is "correct" or not is nit-picking. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(3-0-3) Author

NNN, this is an over simplified animation created to help visualize the solar systems movement through space. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(3-0-0) Author

No claims are made. You can tell because the poster uses the word "like". This is called a simile. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(2-0-1) Author

The animation is very inaccurate: all the speeds of the inner/outer planets are not in scale w.r.t. each other, how can they be in scale w.r.t. the speed of the Sun around the center of our galaxy? [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(0-0-0) Author

Potentially Misleading. Speed of Sun around galaxy is 220km/s. Speed of planets around Sun; Jup/Sat for example is approx 10km/s. So 22x slower than Sun. Yet these shown orbiting Sun at roughly same speed as Sun moves. Therefore repeated spiral pattern is hugely exaggerated. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(0-0-0) Author
