Is it true that the Milky Way rotates around its center, and the Sun completes one orbit about every 230 million years?
Yes. A reference source states the Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way once per galactic year, approximately 225 million Earth years, which closely matches the claimed 230 million years. Another source only mentions the motion of the Sun and stars without giving a period.
