astronomy - Is sun revolving around certain mass in space with reference to some other galaxy?


Every planet and satellite revolves around their mother planet and about their own axis as we know. So they are compacted as a system. Then why not sun?



Answer



Yes, the Sun and our whole Solar System are revolving around the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Milky Way is a spiral galaxy and hence has four major spiral arms and a central buldge. The Sun (and, of course, the rest of our solar system) is located near the Orion arm, between two major arms (Perseus and Sagittarius).
