Well, darling, our galaxy, the Milky Way, does indeed orbit something. Just like a chaotic cosmic Ballet, we twirl around the center of mass of the Local Group of galaxies, which includes our neighbor Andromeda. So yeah, even galaxies can't resist a good old pirouette through space.
What else can I help you with?
Does the sun orbit anything or does anything orbit it?
Yes - the sun slowly orbits the galactic center of our galaxy, The Milky Way. Also, everything in our solar system orbits the sun. That's what a "year" is - the amount of time it takes Earth to orbit the Sun once, about 365 days.
Does Betelgeuse orbit anything?
Betelgeuse does not orbit anything itself. It is a red supergiant star located about 700 light-years away in the constellation of Orion. It is a solitary star that does not have a companion star that it orbits around.
What does the milky way galaxy orbit and how long does it take?
The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are the two giants in our local group. These two galaxies will collide, but neither one can be said to orbit the other. In some instances smaller galaxies might "orbit" a giant cluster, with periods measured in billions of years. Galaxies in general do not orbit anything. Instead they are all simply spreading further and further apart as the universe expands.
How long does it take for betelgeuse to orbit its galaxy?
Since Betelgeuse is a nearby star (compared to the size of the galaxy, that is), you can assume that it takes about the same time as our Solar System to orbit the galaxy - approximately 240 million years.
Do stars orbit around the sun?
No. The sun is a star like any other; it holds no special place in the galaxy. The stars, including the sun, orbit the center of the galaxy. There are also stars in other galaxies.
How does the Moon's orbit around the earth?
It doesn't. The moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun, and the sun orbits the center of the galaxy. And the galaxy doesn't orbit anything.
How does the moon orbit around the earth?
It doesn't. The moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun, and the sun orbits the center of the galaxy. And the galaxy doesn't orbit anything.
Does the galaxy orbit anything in the universe?
Yes, galaxies like the Milky Way are part of galaxy clusters that move through the universe, but they do not orbit a single object like planets orbit a star. Instead, galaxies are influenced by the gravitational forces of other galaxies and dark matter in the universe.
Does the sun orbit anything or does anything orbit it?
Yes - the sun slowly orbits the galactic center of our galaxy, The Milky Way. Also, everything in our solar system orbits the sun. That's what a "year" is - the amount of time it takes Earth to orbit the Sun once, about 365 days.
Is hour world going to the center of the galaxy or what is the same black hole?
We (our Solar System) are going around the center of the galaxy; we are in orbit around the galaxy. This is not much different from the Earth going in an orbit around the Sun. The black hole at the center doesn't change anything; it is just one object more that has some mass - an insignificant amount of mass, compared to the remainder of the galaxy.We (our Solar System) are going around the center of the galaxy; we are in orbit around the galaxy.

What do we orbit?
We orbit the sun, which in turn orbits the center of the galaxy.
Does Betelgeuse orbit anything?
Betelgeuse does not orbit anything itself. It is a red supergiant star located about 700 light-years away in the constellation of Orion. It is a solitary star that does not have a companion star that it orbits around.
How galaxy came into existence?
The galaxy was formed from the attraction of stars which in our galaxy orbit a massive black hole.
Does sun revolve around its galaxy?
Yes the sun does orbit the Galaxy. It is believed the 1 complete orbit takes about 220 million years.
What occurs in HII regions of the galaxy?
From Wikipedia: "An astronomical body's Hill sphere is the region in which it dominates the attraction of satellites." In other words, any object (such as a star, or a small galaxy) within a galaxy's Hill sphere can have a stable orbit; the orbit of anything outside of such a Hill sphere will eventually decay; in other words, it might escape, or fall towards the galaxy.
Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.
Does the sun orbit something?
Yes, the sun is orbiting the center of the galaxy. what? that's a load of rubbish, it IS the center of the galaxy. the MILKY WAY galaxy, that's why there IS a galaxy, because its gravitational pull pulled planets into orbit, thus CREATING one!
