No, stars do not revolve around the Sun. The Sun is just one of the billions of stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and stars have their own independent motion through the galaxy. The Sun's gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, but it does not control the motion of other stars.

How long does it take the milky way galaxy to revolve around the sun?

It doesn't. The Milky Way galaxy is 100,000-120,000 light-years in diameter. The Sun's mass is nowhere near large enough to make the entire galaxy revolve around itself. The Milky Way appears to revolve around us because of our position on Earth. The Earth spins incredibly fast, and is moving much faster than the sun, so therefore the Sun also appears to be rotating around us. However, the Sun orbits the Galactic core, once every (roughly) 226 million years.


How do you measure a year in time on the sun if it has nothing to orbit around?

Normally when we talk about a "year", we refer to the "Solar Year" [See Link] which is the period that the Earth takes to revolve around the Sun once. However, there is another kind of year and that is a Galactic year [See Link] which is the time it takes the Sun (and all the planets) to revolve once around the galactic centre of the Milky Way Galaxy (Our Galaxy), so really, the Sun does have something to revolve around. The Galactic year takes around 225,000,000 Earth years


Do you move around the Galaxy or does the Galaxy move around us?

none of those. milky way is a part of the galaxy and our solar system is a part of it. in this solar system the planets revolve around the sun and rotate on thier own axis
