Does the sun move in the solar system? | Space
WEBJan 26, 2024 · But returning to our main question, the short answer is that the sun does indeed shift position within the solar system, albeit by a tiny amount. That limited oscillating motion...
Does the sun rotate? Science of solar rotation | Space
WEBJul 26, 2022 · The sun's permanent position in the sky, plus the fact that Earth and the other planets revolve around it, may give the impression that it is static and does not move or rotate.
Does the Sun move around the Milky Way? - NASA
WEBYes, the Sun - in fact, our whole solar system - orbits around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. We are moving at an average velocity of 828,000 km/hr. But even at that high rate, it still takes us about 230 million years to make one complete orbit around the Milky Way!

Solar Rotation Varies by Latitude - NASA
WEBJan 23, 2013 · The Sun rotates on its axis once in about 27 days. This rotation was first detected by observing the motion of sunspots. The Sun’s rotation axis is tilted by about 7.25 degrees from the axis of the Earth’s orbit so we see more of the Sun’s north pole in September of each year and more of its south pole in March.

Is the Sun in our solar system moving or stationary?
WEBAug 31, 2016 · In a barycentric frame, defined relative to the Solar system's combined center of mass, the Sun moves in a complex multi-year loop opposite the planets' orbits, never wandering more than its own diameter away from the barycenter as it is the most massive body by far.
