Astronomers tell us between 225,000 and 250,000 years.
We orbit the Milky Way galaxy in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from above the galactic plane. This orbital motion takes hundreds of millions of years to complete one full orbit around the center of the Milky Way.
No, the sun is an object. A fairly ordinary star. An orbit is the closed circular path taken by an object around another object. The suns orbit is the path it takes around the galactic centre. A journey of some 250 million years to complete one orbit. In comparison the earths orbit around the sun takes one year.
A revolution. That is how we measure years.
One galactic year, also known as a cosmic year or orbital period, is estimated to be around 225-250 million Earth years. It represents the time it takes for the Sun to complete one orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

They are not in the nucleaus, they orbit around the nucleus.
Electrons
do electrons orbit the nucleus like plantes orbit the sun?
They are not in the nucleaus, they orbit around the nucleus.
Electrons are the subatomic particles in constant motion around the nucleus of an atom. They orbit the nucleus in energy levels or shells.
The speed of an electron in its orbit around the nucleus is approximately 2.18 million meters per second.
the atomic orbit
If you are talking about the nucleus of an atom, the particles that 'orbit' around the nucleus are electrons.
