The Sun partakes in the general rotation of the galaxy (the Milky Way Galaxy rotates once about every 225 million years). This corresponds to an average velocity of about 220 km/s.
The Earth's annual motion around the sun is called a revolution.

The "ecliptic". In truth, the Sun doesn't move; the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky is caused by the Earth spinning, and the apparent motion of the Sun across the "celestial sphere" is caused by the Earth orbiting the Sun. But the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is what causes the apparent motion of the Sun across the celestial sphere, so the "ecliptic" is actually the plane of the Earth's orbit.
Perceptually it seems to be at rest but it is in fact in motion. The motions are:-Continental driftTidal displacementThe motion due to the spin of the Earth.The motion due to Earth's Orbit.The motion due to the Sun's Orbit of the Milky Way.The Motion of the Milky Way towards Andromeda.

Actually sitting on the earth we feel as if we are at rest. But relative to the pole star we are moving along a circular path. Also relative to the sun we are moving along an elliptical path around the sun. So actually speaking we are not at rest. In the same nothing is stationary. Everything is in motion. Rest means only a relative term.
When an object is at rest, it is only at rest compaired to the observer. Consider that if you are in a moving vehicle then your passenger is at rest from your point of view, but to an observer, outside the vehicle the passenger and you are both in motion. Similarly to you inside the vehicle the observer outside is moving . as the earth itself is in motion, as well as the sun and in fact the whole galaxy, their is no way to absolutely define an at rest state, so all motion is measured relative to the observer, who is assumed to be at rest compaired to the observation.
example of rest and motion?
Initially it is likely to be in motion and then it comes to rest.

An object can be at rest relative to a second object whilst in motion relative to a third object.For example, if you sit still then relative to the Earth you are at rest. However the Earth is both spinning on its axis and travelling around the Sun, so relative to an observer in space you are in motion. Einstein showed us that all such concepts are relative.

At rest and in motion are relative terms. When we say 'in motion' or 'at rest' we mean relative to something else. If you were travelling in a car for instance, you would be at rest relative to the car but in motion relative to the outside world.
