13.45 - Satellite Orbits and Energy Points:20 The Sun orbits the Milky Way galaxy once each 2.60×108y, with a roughly circular orbit averaging 3.00×104 light years in radius. (A light year is the distance traveled by light in 1 y.) Calculate the centripetal acceleration of the Sun in its galactic orbit. Does your result support the contention that a nearly inertial frame of reference can be located at the Sun?
