The galactic year, also known as a cosmic year, is the duration of time required for the Sun to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.[1] One galactic year is approximately 225 million Earth years.[2] The Solar System is traveling at an average speed of 230 km/s (828,000 km/h) or 143 mi/s (514,000 mph) within its trajectory around the Galactic Center,[3] a speed at which an object could circumnavigate the Earth's equator in 2 minutes and 54 seconds; that speed corresponds to approximately 1/1300 of the speed of light.

The galactic year provides a conveniently usable unit for depicting cosmic and geological time periods together. By contrast, a "billion-year" scale does not allow for useful discrimination between geologic events, and a "million-year" scale requires some rather large numbers.[4]

Future (years from now)
0.15 gal Mean time between impacts of asteroidal bodies in the order of magnitude of the K/Pg impactor has elapsed.[8]
1 gal All the continents on Earth may fuse into a supercontinent. Three potential arrangements of this configuration have been dubbed Amasia, Novopangaea, and Pangaea Ultima.[9]
2–3 gal Tidal acceleration moves the Moon far enough from Earth that total solar eclipses are no longer possible
4 gal Carbon dioxide levels fall to the point at which C4 photosynthesis is no longer possible. Multicellular life dies out[10]
15 gal Surface conditions on Earth are comparable to those on Venus today
22 gal The Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy begin to collide
25 gal Sun ejects a planetary nebula, leaving behind a white dwarf
30 gal The Milky Way and Andromeda complete their merger into a giant elliptical galaxy called Milkomeda or Milkdromeda[11]
500 gal The Universe's expansion causes all galaxies beyond the Milky Way's Local Group to disappear beyond the cosmic light horizon, removing them from the observable universe[12]
2000 gal Local Group of 47 galaxies[13] coalesces into a single large galaxy[14]
