The Sun , planets, and all the other flotsam and jetsam that constitute the solar system are so insignificant that we can consider the entire mass a point in space.

Earth is hurtling at some 45,000 mph ( 72,000 km /h) toward the star Lambda Herculis , which lies about 370 light-years away.

The Sun and its attendant bodies slowly bob up and down through the Milky Way's arm.
