2. Our solar system orbits the center of the galaxy, which is 27,700 light-years away, with a linear velocity of about 220 km/s. Suppose we send a radio signal toward the center of the galaxy and somebody actually detects it there and sends a reply. At what angle, relative to the direction the signal came in on, will the response have to be sent for the signal to hit the solar system?
