The Sun is located about 26,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way galaxy. This distance places it in one of the galaxy's spiral arms, known as the Orion Arm. The center of the Milky Way is thought to contain a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A*.
The sun is the center of the universe, and the planets revolve around it.
The Milky Ways Galactic core. A supermassive black hole at the centre of our Galaxy.

Mercury has a markedly eccentric orbit, so its distance from the Sun varies quite a bit. Its average distance from the centre of the Sun is 57,909,100 km, but at its closest approach (perihelion) it comes in to 46,001,200 km, and at its most distant it wanders out to 69,816,900 km from the centre of the Sun.

Milky way is the galaxy in which our Earth and the parent star Sun are located.
No. The sun is in the centre of our solar system. In the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way, there is probably a black hole.
The Sun is the centre of the solar system, and only that. It is not even remotly close to being in the centre of the milky way galaxy.
Yes it is true that the sun revolves, along with the rest of the galaxy, about its centre.
The main difference - is the centre of the galaxy. The heliocentric theory placed the Sun at the centre of our galaxy - the previous 'geocentric' theory placed the Earth at the centre.
Our sun is about 25,000 light years from the centre of the milky way.. It's about half way out from the centre of our galaxy.. So our galaxy from end to end would be 100,000 light years across..
around the sun + sun in galaxy+galaxy in space= speed earth?
Mainly the planets orbit round the Sun and can be considered as a closed system with the Sun fixed at the centre. However the Sun revolves around the centre of our local galaxy as well.
Yes, it orbits the galactic center.The sun is one of billions of stars that comprise the Milky Way galaxy - a more or less flat circular disk of stars that rotates about it's centre. Therefore, the sun "orbit" the centre of the galaxy in a manner analogous to how the earth orbits the sun.
It orbits around the sun and it travels with the sun around the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy.
The sun is the center of the universe, and the planets revolve around it.
We are part of the Milky Way galaxy, so giving a distance is not possible. We are approximately 25,000 light years from the Galactic centre See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:236084main_MilkyWay-full-annotated.jpg
