Just as the planets circle the Sun, the Sun and many other stars revolve around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Sun makes one nearly circular orbit around the galactic center about every 230 million years, moving at a speed of about 220 km/second.
The Milky Way also moves (but does not seem to orbit any other stellar structure). We are moving towards our nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are part of the "Local Group" of galaxies, which is moving towards the Virgo Cluster, the nearest large cluster of galaxies.
Everything in the solar system revolves around something else.
The sun orbits the center of the galaxy.
Planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, meteoroids and comets orbit the sun.
Moons (natural satellites) orbit planets.
There is even at least one case of an asteroid having a moon. The asteroid Ida has its very own natural satellite, the asteroid Dactyl.
When space debris exists within a solar system, it is commonly referred to as orbital debris. Orbital debris consists of defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, fragments from collisions or explosions, discarded equipment, and other man-made objects that are no longer in active use but remain in orbit around a celestial body, such as a planet, moon, or the Sun.
In the context of our solar system, orbital debris can be found in various regions, including Earth's orbit (such as the Low Earth Orbit), as well as in the orbits of other planets and their moons. These debris particles can range in size, from tiny paint flecks and screws to larger objects like defunct satellites. They travel at high velocities and pose a risk to operational spacecraft, as even a small piece of debris can cause significant damage upon impact due to the immense speeds involved.
Managing and mitigating orbital debris is a concern for space agencies and organizations involved in space activities. International guidelines and protocols are in place to minimize the creation of new debris and to ensure responsible satellite operations, including the safe disposal of satellites and stages at the end of their operational lives.
If you're intrested in space, please come and watch some of my top quality spaceflight simulation. It is on a game called Spaceflight Simulator and I make all sort of content.

All three of them rotate about their axes. The moon rotates on its axis with a period of 27.32 days. The Earth rotates on its axis with a period of 0.9972 days. The Sun rotates on its axis with a period of 25.05 days.
All periods are reported in Earth days, and are sidereal time, which is the time for rotation relative to the distant stars.
Planets rotate around the sun.
______________________
Actually, EVERYTHING seems to rotate. Planets spin. So do stars. Planets rotate around stars, and moons rotate around planets. There are many multiple-star systems, and the planets orbit their common center of mass, or "barycenter".
All the stars in the Milky Way rotate around the center of the Milky Way.
Mars revolves around the Sun. It is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system.
Yes, Neptune revolves around the Sun like all other planets in our solar system. It follows an elliptical orbit and takes about 165 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.
Nope, the Earth-Moon system revolves around the Sun.
The statement that is true about the sun is A: the sun is at the center of the solar system. The sun is indeed at the center of our solar system, around which all planets, including Earth, revolve. It is not at the center of the entire universe, and the idea that the sun revolves around Earth and Earth's moon is a misconception.
1.the earth revolves around the sun - correct. 2.the earth is the third planet from the sun - correct.3.the earth is the smallest planet in the solar system - incorrect, it's Mercury.
Everything in our Solar System revolves around the Sun. That is why there is this "Solar System". Because everything revolves around the Sun.
because everything in the solar system revolves around the sun
The moon revolves around the earth in around29 days and the earth revolves around the sun the sun in 365 and 1/4 days the solar system is the sun and all revolving objects
a solar system where every thing revolves around the sun
Yes, everything in this solar system inevidebly revolves around the sun.
No, everything in our solar system revolves around the sun
First, the name of our star or sun is "Sol", Hence, the Sol-ar or Solar system. The Solar system orbits Sol, or the sun.
in a heliocentric solar system, everything revolves around the sun, so in our case, we are the third planet from the sun
Yes it does because every thing revolves around the sun. That's a pretty good answer, but it's not totally correct. Everything in the Solar System revolves around the centre of mass, which is just outside the Sun.
Earth, like all the other 7 planets, revolves around the sun. Hence, earth is said to be a part of the "Solar" system.
Everything in our solar system revolves around the sun due to gravity. Gravity is the fundamental key to planetary orbit.
It is simply called "The Solar System"
