One revolution takes about 230 million years. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy and consists of a central core and 4 main arms with several short segments. The sun is located near the Orion arm, between the two large arms of Perseus and Sagittarius. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across, and the Sun is about 28,000 light-years from its center.
