Ah, the sun is a wondrous thing to imagine moving through space. You see, the sun doesn't exactly move like a person walking down the street. It's actually the Earth spinning that gives us the illusion of the sun moving in our sky. Just like a magnificent dance, the sun rises and sets each day, bringing light and warmth to all living creatures.
The Earth and Moon move through space primarily due to the gravitational forces exerted by the Sun and other celestial bodies, as well as their mutual gravitational attraction. The Earth orbits the Sun while the Moon orbits the Earth, creating a complex motion where both bodies are influenced by the gravitational pull of the Sun. Additionally, the angular momentum from their formation and the conservation of momentum contributes to their ongoing motion through space.
I believe it maintains an orbital pattern, though remains in the middle of our system.
Radiation from the sun travels through space in the form of electromagnetic waves, specifically in the form of visible light, ultraviolet light, and other wavelengths. These waves do not require a medium to propagate and travel through the vacuum of space at the speed of light.
Light can travel through outer space because it propagates as electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium to travel through. This means that light can move through the vacuum of space without any obstacles. This property of light allows it to travel vast distances from its source, such as from stars to telescopes on Earth.
Planets and satellites orbit the sun due to the gravitational pull of the sun. This gravitational force keeps them in their respective orbits as they move through space. The balance between the inertia of the planets/satellites and the gravitational force of the sun results in stable orbits.
Radiation is a form of heat transfer that does not require a medium to move through. It can occur through empty space, such as the heat from the sun reaching Earth through the vacuum of space.
Not sure how much the sun moves through space - about the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. The earth rotates through 0.25 degrees in a minute so the sun APPEARS to move 0.25 degrees.
It doesn't. Light comes to us from the Sun, and from distant stars and galaxies, through what is basically empty space.

Actually three ways: on its axis, around the sun, and through space.
No. Light comes to us from the Sun, as well as from distant stars and galaxies, and moves basically through empty space.

Heat can move through a vacuum via radiation, which is the transfer of heat energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. In the absence of matter to transfer heat through conduction or convection, radiation is the primary way that heat is transferred through empty space.
No, but it looks like its moving 'cause the earth is spinning.
momentum
The moon and Sun do move, or everything is still and space moves. It is still debated.
The further the planet is from the sun, the weaker the gravitational pull. Outer planets even move through space much slower than inner planets due to this.
