The plant is called Compass plant (Silphium laciniatum). It has leaves that align themselves in a north-south direction, minimizing direct exposure to the sun's rays and reducing water loss. This adaptation helps the plant to handle the hot and dry conditions of the grassland.
Galaxies that are moving away from the sun are red shifted, that is the light from them looks more red to us that it is when it is emitted. This is due to the speed of the galaxy moving away from which in effect stretches out the wavelengths of the light. Red shift is not the method by which galaxies move away from the sun, rather, it is a consequence of it.

As a comet travels away from the Sun, its tail, which is formed by the solar wind and radiation pressure, will always point away from the Sun. This means that the comet's nucleus will be moving in the direction opposite to its tail. Thus, as the comet moves away, its head will be oriented toward the Sun while the tail extends away into space.
Neptune is the furthest away of the eight official planets. There is no particular reason for that, but one of them has to be the furthest and it happens to be called Neptune.
Saturn
The Earth is eight light-minutes away from the Sun.

The Earth is not moving away from the sun. It orbits the sun at a relatively constant distance, about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers, on average.
The Sun... from the Sun? If you mean, what stops the Sun from breaking apart, it is held together by its own gravity.
If you were on a plant looking into the stars the sun would be blue shifted. When looking up at the sky we see the sun moving towards us making it look smaller.
