Yes, our sun revolves around the super black hole in the center of our galaxy as all of the stars in our galaxy do, (as far as we know). I do not remember how long it takes to go completely around though. And I dont remember the name of the black hole.
Interesting. Are we edging ever so closer to it in a tighter and tighter orbit? Would our sun burn out and life end on Earth before we got pulled into it?

I know that there have been calculations denoting when the sun will burn out in several billion years and collapse itself, but have there been calculations about how long it would take for us to be pulled into the black hole we orbit?
