Nothing in the universe is stationary.
The planets orbit the sun.
The sun orbits the galactic centre (one orbit takes about 225 million years).
The Milky Way orbits a common centre of gravity of the Local Group of galaxies.
The Local Group is orbiting within the Virgo Supercluster.
The Virgo Supercluster is moving in space as part of the general expansion of the universe.

The suns (stars) are not stationary in the universe. The reason that we do not perceive dramatic relative motion on a nightly basis is because of the really daunting distances between them.

They aren't stationary ours moves around the galaxy. Also the planets cause the sun to wobble a Little.

None. The Sun and all stars are moving all the time. The distance are just so large that they seem to be standing still, kind of like how an airliner flying over at 30,000 feet seems to be barely moving. So stars trillions of miles away seem to be not moving at all, even though they are really moving extremely fast.

They aren't stationary, they're all moving. Most move in orbit around the galactic center, and the galaxies themselves are moving away from each other. That's my understanding.
