The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.
On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).

orbit, the sun's gravity pulls all sorts of things into its orbit.orbital
The Sun stays in orbit because of gravity. This is also why all the planets stay in orbit too. Gravity pulls the planets towards the Sun. Without gravity, the planets would be wandering all over the universe.
The sun's gravity keeps the earth and the other planets in orbit around it
The gravity pulls them together
because of the gravity
Planets orbit the sun in a counter clockwise motion, due to the balance between the Sun's gravity and the gravity of each individual planet.
It's in an orbit due to gravity.
Everything in our solar system revolves around the sun due to gravity. Gravity is the fundamental key to planetary orbit.
Gravity keeps everything orbiting around the Sun.
Isaac Newton.
The orbit of the planets are very importand and they move in orbit due to gravity. :}
It's due to the forces of gravity in both directions between the Sun and the Earth. Comment: The gravity that matters in this case is the Sun's pull on the Earth. That's what keeps Earth in orbit, combined with the Earth's velocity, at about 90 degrees to the direction of the Sun.
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
why do the PLANETS orbit the sun? Because of gravity, the sun has loads of gravity so it holds all the planets in space.
Earth is held in elliptical orbit around the sun by gravity. It's motion can be thought of as due to a combination of gravity and inertia.
