    The sun is literally having zero part in this. We would still circle around the galaxy in the same way without her. Only orbits would change a bit.

      Really? We’re pretty far from galactic center, if we didn’t have the Gas Giants wouldn’t Earth eventually escape galactic orbit with it’s low relative mass?

        No. The moon wouldn’t suddenly book it either if the sun disappeared, would it? Or more in line with the example: the moon would not suddenly leave the solar system if the earth disappeared.
