A galaxy is made up of all sorts of matter, including stars. Many stars have object orbiting them, such as planets, asteroids, and even other stars. Solar systems orbit the galactic centre of a galaxy. (Solar systems don't orbit a galaxy, they ARE the galaxy)
Which orbit would that be? The galactic orbit, the solar orbit, the local cluster orbit? From what viewpoint? Above or below the galactic plane, the planetary system plane, from the point of view of a different place in the local cluster than on earth itself?
Sun in the centre. Planets orbit the Sun Debris orbit the Sun outside the orbit of the planets.
All planets orbit around the greatest centre of mass. In our solar system, that is our Sun.
Since the Solar System is thought to be about four and a half billion years old, and the galactic year calculated to be around 250 million years, the Solar System's age in terms of galactic or cosmic years would be roughly eighteen.
Our Solar System revolves around the Galactic Centre. See related questions.
Relative to the North Pole, the Solar System moves anti-clockwise around the Galactic centre.
Its at the centre of the solar system. All the planets and other bodies are in orbit around it.

Nope - the sun is at the centre of our solar system.
We are within 25,000 light years from the galactic centre.

it means that the sun (Helios in Greek) is at the centre of the solar system, with all of the planets, including Earth, in orbit around it.
There is no special "corridor", there is more or less empty space all around. You might talk about the orbit of the Solar System around the galactic center.
