The solar system completes one revolution around the galaxy about every 200 million years.
If you are a fan of Monthy Python, learn the "galaxy song". All the verses are scientifically accurate.

It takes the Solar System about 225–250 million years to complete one orbit (a galactic year) and so it is thought to have completed about 20–25 orbits during its lifetime or 0.0008 orbit since the origin of humans
