How to determine the direction of movement of the Sun in space?
| September 18, 2020 | Education
The direction of the Sun’s motion relative to the nearest stars (apex) is determined by the proper motions and radial velocities of the stars. Near the apex the stars “scatter”, while near the antiapex the proper motions of most stars are directed towards it.
The radial velocity moduli of stars are maximal in the regions of the apex and antiapex.
Remember: The process of learning a person lasts a lifetime. The value of the same knowledge for different people may be different, it is determined by their individual characteristics and needs. Therefore, knowledge is always needed at any age and position.
