Yes, the Sun is revolving. Because the Sun is gaseous and not solid, the Sun spins at different rates at the equator and near the poles. The middle of the Sun spins once each 25 days or so. The polar areas take about 33 days per rotation.

In normal years, we can see the rotation of the Sun by watching the moving sunspots. In 2008 and 2009 so far, the Sun has been remarkably quiet, with no sunspots at all about 85% of the time. But this is a ""Solar Minimum" period (although an unusually quiet one) and the sunspots will probably return later this year. The solar cycle takes about 11 years from minimum to minimum. We can reasonably expect that by 2013 or so, the Sun will be back to its normal spotty self.
