      Hi boo,
      We go around the Sun, so in that respect it doesn’t move at all, us and all the other plants move around it because they are kept in place by the gravity that the sun generates. For Earth we go around the sun in about 365 days (which is why our “year” is called the Solar calendar), and the moon goes around the earth every 30 days or so, which is why our months are about 30 days long. I’m not sure about the other planets. Hope that answers your question!
