Yes. The sun rotates around the Milky Way galaxy (our home galaxy, although only one of billions that we can see) once every 220,000,000 years. There are also other, more subtle motions, but this one answers your question.

What do you call the circular path around the sun?
Its called an orbit.
The planets move around the sun in a path called an?
The path around The sun is called a orbit
Why do planets follow circular orbital paths?
Well actually, not all of the planets move in a perfect circle. Uranus's orbital path is effected by the gravitational pull from Neptune. But the planets move in a orbital path because of the gravitational pull from the sun. Since the sun is circular, they move around the sun, so that's why they move in a orbital path.
What is the shape of the path of a planet around the sun called?
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.
The shape of the earth's orbit is a?
The earth orbits around the sun in an elliptical path. It is too oblong to be considered circular orbit.
Why planets move along a circular path around sun?
They don't. They move in ellipses around the Sun.
Does planets move in circular path instead of straight lines?
Planets rotate around the sun. The path is not really circular for planets, it is actually ellipsoidal.
Why does earth move around the sun in horizontal circular path not in vertical circular path?
It depends how you look at it. If you turn your head 90 degrees, you will see a vertical circular path. Note that there is no "up" and "down" in outer space; no preferred direction. The horizontal circular path is the way it is usually presented. This is just a convention.
What do you call the circular path around the sun?
Its called an orbit.
What causes an object to move in a circular path?
Centripetal Force ^^
Application of uniform motion?
the earth revolves around the sun in a circular path
The planets move around the sun in a path called an?
The path around The sun is called a orbit
Surface waves cause rock to move?
Surface waves cause rock to move in a circular path.
Types of torque?
There is no specific type of torque. Torque is only the 'Circular' force that makes the body move in the circular path.
What happen when earth moves in circular path around the sun?
It doesn't. The earth orbits the sun in an elliptical fashion.
What is the manifestation of centripetal force in a stone tied to a string and whirled horizontally?
The circular path that the stone follows is. It takes centripetal force to move any mass in a circular path.
What is the almost circular path of the earth called?
It is called the Earth's ORBIT around the Sun.
