Is the Sun revolving around the super massive black hole at the center of the galaxy?

What part do the other stars in the galaxy play in holding the sun in it’s orbit?

    In a way , yes considering everything is falling towards the black hole the only thing we dont notice is that we keep our same orbits while the galaxy may shift. The sun is kept in check with the nine planets pulling on it while it does the same to the nine planets.. so in a way yes it is revolving around the center of our galaxy but in a way .. it is just going with the flow.

    The sun >orbits< around the center of our galaxy where a supermassive black hole is located. One orbit takes about 226-million years.

    Our sun remains in orbit because of the >total< mass of the galaxy which is mostly in the form of billions of stars. As far as any individual star or stars influencing the sun’s orbit, the distances between our sun and even the nearest star (about 4.5 light years) is much to vast for their gravity to significantly effect us.

    actully….sun is too small to become a black hole.
    It need to be like a super novae.
