The sun orbits the centre of the Milky Way galaxy at an average velocity of 828,000 km/hr. Even at that rate it still takes us about 230 million years to make a complete orbit of the Milky Way.
As to why it circles the center of the galaxy, this is due to the mechanics of formation of the galaxy. Matter attracted to the center of the system tends not to fall directly towards the middle but to swirl in like the whirlpool in the bathtub drain
What else can I help you with?
The plantes and other objects that orbit the sun are called constllations or a solar sysrem?
Planets and other objects that orbit the sun are part of a solar system, whereas constellations are patterns of stars as seen from Earth. So, the correct term is a solar system for planets and objects orbiting the sun.
Do moons and asteroids orbit 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 is Eris not considered a planet?
Many smaller objects cross Eris' orbit, so it does not dominate its orbital path. An object must clear its orbit of other objects to be considered a planet.
When will Eris next orbit the sun?
Eris is in orbit around the sun. It will remain so unless perturbed from its orbit.
How many more years until Pluto will orbit the sun?
Pluto takes about 248 Earth years to complete one orbit around the sun, so it will orbit the sun again in about 180 years.
How many days are in the suns year?
Planets have years based on the time it takes them to orbit the sun. The sun does not orbit itself, so it does not have a year.Planets have years based on the time it takes them to orbit the sun.

How far are meteoroids from the sun?
Meteoroids are small rocky or metallic objects that orbit the sun, so they can be found at varying distances depending on their specific orbit. They can be found anywhere from close to the sun, near Mercury's orbit, to out beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt.
Do moons and asteroids orbit 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.
Does the sun have a moon?
The sun has 8 or 9 major planets and thousands of smaller objects orbiting around it. Some of the planets have many moons. (eg Neptune has 13) It can have moons but so far all of the moons are to close to the planets to get caught in the sun's orbit.
This is found in between mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids are found orbiting the Sun in between Jupiter and Mars. So, the answer is "the Asteroid Belt".
Does the sun orbit inside the solar system I know that it rotates in its axis every 26 earth days?
The sun really doesn't orbit inside the solar system; all of the other objects in the solar system orbit around the sun. In a strange way, you can think of the sun and other objects orbiting around each other, in the sense that the earth and moon orbit a mutual center of gravity called the barycenter. But the sun is so much more massive than everything else combined that this idea isn't very useful.
Which takes longer to orbit the sun oort cloud or kupiter belt?
The Oort cloud is generally much further out than the Kuiper belt, so Oort cloud objects will generally take a lot longer to orbit our sun.
Why is Eris not considered a planet?
Many smaller objects cross Eris' orbit, so it does not dominate its orbital path. An object must clear its orbit of other objects to be considered a planet.
When will Eris next orbit the sun?

Pluto takes about 248 Earth years to complete one orbit around the sun, so it will orbit the sun again in about 180 years.
Why the planets and other object in the solar system orbit around the sun?
Its quite simple really. Look at our planet, it has gravity which allows the moon to orbit us because the moon is being tugged by that invisable hand. Its the same with the sun but because the sun is so big and dense it has stronger gravity and therefore, objects orbit it.
