Our solar system orbits the Milky Way's center at 828,000 km/h, taking 230 million years per lap, while also moving with the galaxy through the cosmos.

Looks like we’re all just passengers on this cosmic rollercoaster ride through space.

If that were true, how does this happen?

The solar system rotates around the center of the Milky Way galaxy once every 225 million years. The last time the solar system was in its current position, dinosaurs were beginning to walk on Earth

That is almost correct but the sun is not precisely at the center of the solar system. The sun actually orbits around the barycenter , influenced by the gravitational pull of all the planets, especially the largest ones like Jupiter and Saturn.

Wow.. spinning and weaving, and swirling and twirling; great diagraming. So, its more like a twisting and turning up and down on a roller coaster.. than a merry go- round !!!

It doesn't keep changing direction like the animation looks.

"NASA and modern astronomy say Polaris, the North Pole star, is somewhere between 323-434 light years, or about 2 quadrillion miles, away from us! Firstly, note that is between 1,938,000,000,000,000 - 2,604,000,000,000,000 miles making a difference of 666,000,000,000,000 (over six hundred trillion) miles! If modern astronomy cannot even agree on the distance to stars within hundreds of trillions of miles, perhaps their “science” is flawed and their theory needs re-examining. However, even granting them their obscurely distant stars, it is impossible for heliocentrists to explain how Polaris manages to always remain perfectly aligned straight above the North Pole throughout Earth’s various alleged tilting, wobbling, rotating and revolving motions." - The Atlantean Conspiracy

So, where are we going guys? Is this public transport? Looks expensive!
