Yes, our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a group of galaxies called the Local Group. Within the Local Group, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy are the two largest galaxies and they are actually moving towards each other. It is believed that the Local Group is also moving towards the Virgo Cluster, a larger cluster of galaxies. So, in a sense, our galaxy is moving within the universe, but it is not orbiting around a single object like a planet orbits a star.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What does the universe orbit, if anything?
The universe does not orbit around anything. It is constantly expanding and there is no central point or object that it revolves around.
Does the sun orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy?
No, the sun does not orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy. The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.
Do galaxies orbit around a central point?
Yes, galaxies can orbit around a central point, such as a supermassive black hole located at the center of a galaxy. This motion is influenced by the gravitational forces within the galaxy.
Earth is gravitationally attracted to?
Earth is gravitationally attracted to every smidgen of mass in the universe, including the lint in my pocket, and the tiniest bacterium in the farthest galaxy, if any.

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 are the earth universe solar system galaxy related?
In order of size from largest to smallest. Universe > Galaxy > Solar System > Earth. The Erthis one of nine planets in the solar system. All of which orbit the Sun. The Sun, is star in one of the tails of the (Milky Way) Galaxy. The Galaxy, with one of millions of galaxies in the universe.
What is big universe or galaxy?
the universe is bigger than the galaxy because our galaxy (the milky way) is in the universe.

Differentiate a galaxy from the universe?
A galaxy is a tine part of the universe.
What does sun orbit around?
The sun, does not orbit anything. Because it is the center of the universe, based off of the heliocentric model. Planets, and satelites(moons) do orbit the sun though.
