Yes,
"Although the Milky Way is but one of billions of galaxies in the observable universe (between 1×10^10 and 8×10^10), the Galaxy has special significance to humanity as the home of the solar system."

Yes. The planets [all 8 or 9 of them depending upon who you ask nowadays] of our Solar System orbit around the Sun; along with the asteroids and Kuiper Belt objects. Our Sun is in one of the "arms" of our "spiral" galaxy called the Milky Way. The galaxy spins around a central point.
The Milky Way as a whole orbits around a central point amongst galaxies in what is called the Local Group. Our closest galactic neighbor is the Andromeda Galaxy.

And to those above who wrote about other Solar systems, there is only one Solar system, its star being named "Sol".
There are plenty of other star systems, some which are part of the Milky Way galaxy.
