Actually the entire Solar System moves - it orbits around the Milky Way.But with respect to the center of mass of the Solar System, the Sun has about 1000 times as much mass as the largest planet (Jupiter). That means that if Jupiter moves a certain amount, in its orbit around the Sun, you can expect the Sun to move about 1000 times less.

(Compared to Earth, the Sun has about 330,000 times as much mass.)
