In fact, NO galaxies orbit the sun. Our Sun is the center of our solar system, but it is nowhere near the center of our Galaxy (the Milky Way).
Our Solar Systems is located on one of the outer arms of the Milky Way and is a relatively small system within the Milky Way. The Current hypothesis about the center of our galaxy (the one with the most credence) is that there are a cluster of Black Holes at the center (perhaps millions) around which the rest of the galaxy orbits.

Galaxies do not go around the sun. Within galaxies are solar systems, which are the planets and the suns. Planets go around the sun within a solar system which are within a galaxy which is usually within a cluster of other galaxies which are revolving but around what is not definitively determined - possibly a blackhole. The galaxies as a cluster are also moving in an outward direction - away from one another - indicating that the universe is expanding. I hope this helps you.

Hi. No galaxy goes around our Sun. Our Sun goes around inside the Milky Way galaxy.

No. It is our solar system that goes around the sun. The Milky Way , which is only just another galaxy from billions of galaxies in the universe revolves around its own axis. Do not misunderstand to think that our sun is the centre of the universe.

My suggestion to you is do a little reading before asking a question like this. Our sun is merely a single star in the Milky Way Galaxy which has billions of stars. All of these stars rotate around the galaxy like a giant whirlpool in a matter of speaking. Our sun is on in a small, unnoticable area on one of the outer arms (or bands). Our galaxy, in turn, is one of millions of galaxies in the universe. So in this respect, our sun is truly not much to write home about, and no Earth is not at the center of everything.

Planets go around the sun. But Galaxies are different. They have many suns and rotate. What I would like to know is what is in the center of a galaxy that makes the stars rotate around them.

We are one Solar system in the Galaxy we call "The Milky Way." Planets revolve around the Sun and the Sun and its system rotates in the Galaxy. There are possibly billions and billions of galaxies in our universe.

No. Firstly, our galaxy does not revolve around the Sun. The Sun is the centre of our solar system, but our solar system revolves around the centre of our galaxy (Milky Way). Secondly galaxies in general don't revolve around a star (like our Sun). We don't quite know what is in the centre of our galaxy or any other.

Only our solar system goes around our sun! Every Star you see out there is a sun and has it's own solar system. There are many solar systems within a galaxy, and many galaxies within the universe.

We're (our solar system: sun and nine or so planets) a very small part of our galaxy, which is traveling through space along with all the other galaxies, space dust, nebulae etc. from an origin point that is many light years away.
