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.
