Our Spiral System

Now take into account what you know about barycenters...the sun is not moving in a straight line....

It's warping, wefting and braiding it's way through space based on the pull of the other planets...

Stupid 1 star bandit...

... and we're moving fast.

Understanding barycenter sheaths and where/how they intersect...significance in 2012.

The barycenter is not a single point in the Sun. Because the Sun is a rotating gaseous sphere, the barycenter forms a vertical, cylindrical "sleeve" that is partially inside and outside the main solar body. All of the planets have such a "sleeve," one inside the other, depending on their relative mass and the location of their barycenters. The particular sleeve representing the mass of Jupiter intersects the solar surface at 35.9 degrees North and South. This is precisely where sunspot and flare activity begin and end during each 11 year cycle.


Scientists have noted that when Jupiter and Saturn are aligned, on the same side of the Sun, the solar activity is at its maximum; when they are on opposite sides of the Sun the solar activity is at its minimum.

These cylinders are usually quite orderly because the planets adhere to a narrow plane, called the ecliptic which resembles a thin plate extending from the equator of the Sun. The planets hang out here because (in simple terms) this is the zone where the gravitation of the system is the strongest. (see below)

The planets orbit the Sun in a narrow plane called the ecliptic


But nature is never perfect. The Sun rotates at a slight angle (7.25 degrees), much as our Earth does. As it wobbles, it tilts the sleeves, causing them to clash with each other and eventually disrupt the surface. This disturbance, to put it simply, works its way to the surface and erupts in sun spots and solar flares.

The sun orbits around this point sometimes within sometime outside of the solar body.

This also relates to the endless amount
of things related to spirals in existence. The most obvious example is our DNA.

makes perfect sense. but like the OP said, the title is a little misleading.

we are orbiting the sun but since the sun is moving if we had a "tail" it would spiral.

Ive tried to explain this concept to my friends multiple times. I said we are never in the same piece of space EVER. Question is, do the planets rotate perpendicular to the way the sun is traveling like the pic above or some other configuration that is much more complicated to visualize?

It is the motion of movement that the tail is representing. So, we ARE moving spiral in form, we just don't 'see' that we do because there are no 'trails' visible.

right....at least i think we are agreeing, lol.

question though, dont spirals come to an end in the center? or is it just one of those infinity things?

The motion is more like the shape of a spring that never ends.
