Both move. Imagine a system consisting of only the Sun and the Earth. In that case, both would orbit around their common center of mass. Since the mass of the Sun is 330,000 that of Earth, the center of mass will be closer to the center of the Sun, than to the center of the Earth, by the same factor.However, to complicate things a bit more:
* There are other planets, especially Jupiter, which has about 300 times the mass of the Earth (but still about a thousand times less than the Sun).
* The entire Solar System moves through space; among other things, it orbits the Milky Way approximately once every 200 million years.
