Hey everyone, I'm new to the Physics Forum, so this is my first post. I heard somewhere that the Sun moves through space at a certain velocity. If that is true, then wouldn't the Solar System be a system of vortex motion, and not simply gravity being a centripetal force holding the planets towards the center? I know that vortex motion creates a pressure that keeps the outside particles going towards the center, so isn't that what the solar system is instead of a simple gravitational centripetal force?
