On: Solar System Has a Tail, Just Like a Comet

If we're being spun by the super blackhole in the middle of the galaxy, then it kind of makes sense to have one.

These 'tails' are not created by centrifugal forces, so the fact that solar system rotates around the center of the galaxy doesn't explain the tail.

Wouldn't it though, at least to a degree. If the solar system were moving through absolutely empty space there would be no external gravitational forces causing the exterior 'drag' resulting in a tail.

But wouldn't you expect these particles that we're moving through to be being spun by that black hole as well?
