Amar Desai :Brainless, Sun never rotates, Sun is a star, stars never rotates or revolve though some changes their position but not Sun. Sun is stationary and no body has made claims of it being revolving or rotating. u r the first one ot see this deram.

Great Mr. Amar Desai... you are really genius, i was expecting this from people like you...

Now let us analyse this... Sun does rotate. We can observed this by observing sunspots. All sunspots move across the face of the Sun. This motion is part of the general rotation of the Sun on its axis. Observations also indicate that the Sun does not rotate as a solid body, but it spins differentially. That means that it rotates faster at the equator of the Sun and slower at its poles. (The gas giants Jupiter and Saturn also have differential rotation.) The movements of the sunspots indicate that the Sun rotates once every 27 days at the equator, but only once in 31 days at the poles.

Reference : From Nasa website...

Sun's Revolution:- The Sun does revolve around the Milky Way on an almost circular orbit with a speed of about 220km/s. The Sun completes one revolution in about 230 million years. The Milky Way also moves - we are moving towards or nearest neighbour the Andromeda galaxy and both the Milky Way and Andromeda (which make up most of what we call the 'Local Group of galaxies') are moving towards the Virgo Cluster which is our nearest cluster of galaxies. Nothing seems to stand still at all.
