  1. Life on Earth began nearly 4 billion years ago and the and the Sun does a complete orbit around the galaxy every 225-250 million years, so it made over 16 revolutions!


  2. The sun orbits the Milkyway's center about every 230 million years;  It probably varies by quite a bit from one orbit to the next, but if life began, say, 3.5 billion years ago:

    3,500,000,000 / 230,000,000 = about 15.2 times.
