Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away. That is 24,673,274,438,400 miles. Going at the speed of the Sun through the Milky Way, 492,150 miles per hour, it would take 5,723 years to get there. In 100 years the Sun has only gone 431,123,400,000 miles, or 7 percent of 1 light year (5,874,589,152,000 miles).
Since the earth was formed, it has gone around the center of the Milky Way galaxy about twenty times.

Could someone tell me if my numbers are right? I used a calculator.
I came up with 37.
I’d have to say no, with no need to run the calculation myself, because you didn’t trim your answers down to just two significant digits.
