Our solar system is tilted approximately 60° relative to the Milky Way galaxy because the gas and dust cloud that formed it 4.6 billion years ago was spinning in a different direction than the galaxy, and this tilt is actually common throughout the universe rather than a unique anomaly.

What's The Solar System Tilted Against? #physics #universe #planetAdded:
Scientists say our solar system is not actually tilted against anything. The planets orbit the sun on a flat plane, but that plane is tilted by about 60° compared to the Milky Way galaxy. The leading theory is that 4.6 billion years ago, the giant cloud of gas and dust that formed our solar system was spinning in a different direction than the galaxy around it. Recent studies of distant star systems show that unusual tilts are common throughout the universe. So, the solar system's tilt is not a cosmic mystery of opposition. It's a snapshot of how our corner of space was born billions of years ago. Thanks for watching.
