I cant remember how fast, but one galactic orbit for our sun and entourage of planets takes about 220 million years.

The sunlight, and each little thing else gravitationally certain to it, which incorporate the Earth is moving at approximately a hundred and fifty miles in step with 2nd because it circles the middle of our galaxy. it is 540,000 miles in step with hour relative to the middle of our galaxy and it takes some 200 million years to end each and each orbit.

As Eric Idle points out in "The Galaxy Song":
"The Sun and you and me
And all the stars that you can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm at 40,000 miles an hour
In a galaxy we call the Milky Way."
...roughly

Of course it is moving. What do you think causes the solar wind. Also our galaxy is moving and rotating. Sorry I have no idea about the speed, I wish I did.

It's not moving...
Other than in it's own rotation...
It does not move through space...
