Best Answer

The orbit of the sun through our galaxy is thought by many scientists to be almost circular. Since the sun takes about 225 million years to complete one orbit, little proven data is available to support most hypotheses regarding the orbit of the sun.

No, the sun is an object. A fairly ordinary star. An orbit is the closed circular path taken by an object around another object. The suns orbit is the path it takes around the galactic centre.
