Well, isn't that just a happy little thought. The sun is like a gentle creature drifting peacefully through the galaxy. It's simply part of the beautiful cosmic dance that we're all a part of. Just imagine the sun spreading warmth and light wherever it goes, making everything a little brighter.
Nothing in our universe is static. The Sun moves in at least four ways. It rotates on it axis (spins) and it also moves in an orbit around the center of the galaxy (milky way). The galaxy, and thus the Sun, is moving through space within the cluster of galaxies it is a member of, and this cluster moves through space towards another larger cluster of galaxies.
Happy little question there, friend. Don't you worry, the sun is not actually physically turning around in the solar system. It's actually so massive that its gravitational pull keeps all the planets, including Earth, orbiting around it to give us sunlight and keep us warm. Nature is just so fascinating, isn't it?
Item: galaxy. The other items are celestial bodies within a galaxy, while a galaxy is a collection of stars, dust, and gas held together by gravity.
The sun appears to stay still in our sky because of the Earth's rotation on its axis. The sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth spinning from west to east. The sun itself is constantly moving within the Milky Way galaxy, but from our perspective on Earth, it appears stationary.
No, the sun is gravitationally bound to the Milky Way galaxy. Its orbit around the galactic center keeps it within the Milky Way.
Because only the planets that sorrounded the sun revolves. Actually it does change its position within the galaxy, just as the galaxy itself is also moving, but we don't notice it because (as previous answered) we revolve around the sun in more or less fixed orbit.
Yes it is true that the sun revolves, along with the rest of the galaxy, about its centre.

The planets are considered moving around the sun, even though the sun moves too (in tiny circles opposite the planets' motions). The planets are circling the sun. The sun (dragging the planets along with it) is circling our galaxy's center. Our galaxy (dragging the sun, the planets, and all the other stars) is moving through the universe as well.
The sun is moving at an amazing speed. It is the biggest brightest star in the galaxy.
The Earth constantly moves by 1) revolving on its axis; 2) orbiting the Sun; 3) moving with the Sun and the other planets toward Vega; 4) circling the galaxy; 5) moving with the rest of the galaxy toward M31 in Andromeda; 6) moving with the Local Group of galaxies within the Local Cluster; 7) moving with the Local Cluster around the Local Supercluster; 8) moving with everything else outward from the Big Bang. Perhaps our whole universe is moving within the Multiverse, but we can't really know that.
no the sun doesn't move. Actually in addition to rotating around the sun, our galaxy is also moving through the universe.
Yes. Every day. The sun is actually moving thought the Galaxy and the Earth follows.
The Earth is constantly moving in several ways. It rotates on its axis, which gives us day and night, and it orbits around the Sun, which gives us our seasons. The Earth is also part of the solar system, which is moving within the Milky Way galaxy.

Yes. Every star has a "proper motion", which is their motion relative to the solar system. Some stars are moving toward us, while others are moving away. Nothing is standing still. Of course, the Earth is moving around the Sun, and the Sun is orbiting the center of the galaxy, and the Milky Way galaxy itself is moving - but we can't know where. Every other galaxy is moving too, and there isn't a way to identify where the Big Bang started.
It rotates at about a 1000 miles per hour (at the equator). It revolves around the sun at about 18 miles per second. Since the sun is also moving around the core of the galaxy, and the galaxy is also moving, I'll quit here.
