Your image is from a debunked pseudoscientific woo animation.

The solar system orbital plane’s angle to the galactic orbital plane is about 60 degrees, not 90, and the solar system plane doesn’t rotate as it would have to do to follow the “vortex” animation your image is a still of.

Our planet’s path along its galactic orbit is much more complicated than a corkscrew.
