Just as the planets and asteroids in our solar system orbit the Sun, held in place by the Sun's gravity, the aggregation of matter in the center of our galaxy exerts a gravitational attraction on the stars of the Milky Way. This includes several smaller galaxies and clusters relatively nearby, such as the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (two satellite galaxies).
Our Sun and its planets are in the "Orion Arm" of the Milky Way, and we are about 27,000 light-years from the galactic center, which likely contains a supermassive black hole.
What else can I help you with?
Is sun mooves around the sun?
Yes, the sun does not move around itself; instead, it is the center of our solar system around which all the planets, including Earth, revolve in elliptical orbits. Additionally, the sun itself is in motion within the Milky Way galaxy, orbiting the galactic center.
Do the planets revolve around the direct center of the sun?
The center of the orbit is between them in proportion to their masses. But the mass of the sun is so much larger compared to the mass of the planets that to a casual observer they do revolve around the center of the sun. Because planets don't orbit the exact center of stars, astronomers can see stars that "wobble" and can tell they have planets orbiting them. They will also get an idea of the period of those planets' revolutions around the star.
Does sun revolve around any celestial body?
No sun doesn't revolve to any celestial body, but the celestial body revolve around the sun.
What is the theory that states the sun is the center of the universe and the planets revolve around it?
The Heliocentric Theory is the theory that states the Sun is the center of the Solar System and all other celestial objects revolve around it. Supporting observations about the theory were by Galileo Galilei.
Why is Jupiter in the center of its univeres?
Jupiter is not in the center of the universe, but rather at the center of its own orbit within our solar system. Its position is determined by the gravitational forces acting on it by the sun, which is at the center of our solar system.
What way does the sun travel ins orbit clockwise or anticlockwise?
As viewed from the galactic north, the Sun orbits in a clockwise motion
How do you measure a year in time on the sun if it has nothing to orbit around?
Normally when we talk about a "year", we refer to the "Solar Year" [See Link] which is the period that the Earth takes to revolve around the Sun once. However, there is another kind of year and that is a Galactic year [See Link] which is the time it takes the Sun (and all the planets) to revolve once around the galactic centre of the Milky Way Galaxy (Our Galaxy), so really, the Sun does have something to revolve around. The Galactic year takes around 225,000,000 Earth years
Is sun mooves around the sun?
Yes, the sun does not move around itself; instead, it is the center of our solar system around which all the planets, including Earth, revolve in elliptical orbits. Additionally, the sun itself is in motion within the Milky Way galaxy, orbiting the galactic center.
Does the sun go clockwise or anticlockwise around the galactic center?
Clockwise.
Does the heliocentric theory require the sun to revolve around the earth or the earth to revolve around the sun?
"Helios" means "Sun", while "centric" means... well, in this case, that the Sun is believed to be the center of the movement.
What is the length of a year for the Sun?
The Sun does not have a year, per se, as do the planets that revolve around it, but the Sun does revolve around the galactic core, along with all the other start in the Milky Way galaxy, with a period estimated to be around (2.25 to 2.50) x 108 Earth years.
What is in the center of your solar system that all planets revolve around?
sun.....obviously

What is Copernicus Theory?
Copernicus' theory was that Earth is not the center of the universe and we revolve around the Sun.
How long does it take for our sun to revolve around the center of your galaxy?
About 225 million years.
What is the time taken by the sun to revolve around the center of your galaxy?
I like chocolate milk
What was Copernicus theory?
Copernicus' theory was that Earth is not the center of the universe and we revolve around the Sun.
