Strictly speaking, the sun is at one of the foci of earth's elliptical orbit, not the center, but on the scale of any drawing or diagram, the orbit is so slightly eccentric it should look like a circle with the sun at the center. Of course, if you can fit the orbit onto a piece of paper, on that scale earth should be invisible.

Mark is technically correct; however, the distances involved are so massive that on a correctly scaled diagram the displacement would be unnoticeable.

Entirely off-center. No part of the Sun is at the center.

i'm not sure what your question is, but the sun is in the center. the Earth revolves around the sun
