They orbit their galactic center.
Explanation:
The sun and other stars in out galaxy orbit around the center of the galaxy due to gravitational forces, it is assumed that a supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy (and other spiral galaxies) provides the mass for a good portion of the gravitational field.
The sun orbits around the galaxy is about 220 km/s and so it orbits around the entire galaxy every 240 million years or about 18 times since the solar system formed.
