If the Heliocentric theory of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and others was proven true. And since it was discovered that the sun is as much the center of the universe as Earth is, and that the sun revolves around something else as the planets revolve around the sun, while moons orbit planets:
What does the sun orbit?

First of all, the sun and our solar system is NOT at the center of the universe, if you were thinking that. Our sun and its planets orbit around the center of our galaxy (..called the 'Milky Way'...) It takes about 226-million years to complete one orbit.

Copernicus was only half right. He stated that the Earth orbits around a stationary sun. He was right in saying the Earth orbits the sun, but incorrect in referring to the sun as stationary. Prior to Copernicus many thought the Earth was stationary, and everything moved around it.

The sun orbits the galactic centre.
The galaxy is orbiting the center of gravity of our Local Group of galaxies.
The Local Group is moving towards the Virgo super-cluster.

Paradise, at the center of all reality is unmoving. All else is revolving around Paradise.
You will have to get curious enough to consult THE URANTIA BOOK for complete details.
It can be read online, but the book is better as it has over 2000 pages.
