Solar Motion

Solar Motion is a kinematic construct in galactic astronomy that denotes the peculiar velocity of the Sun relative to the local standard of rest, distinguished by its characterization of the Sun's absolute motion through the Galaxy as inferred from the systematic proper motions and radial velocities of nearby stars.
