Nothing is static in the universe, stars, planets, meteors, satellites, all move at speeds varying from a few kilometres per second to hundreds of kilometres per second. The Sun revolves around the Milky Way on an almost circular orbit with a speed of about 220km/s. The Sun completes one revolution in about 230 million years. The Milky Way also moves - we are moving towards our nearest neighbour the Andromeda galaxy and both the Milky Way and Andromeda (which make up most of what we call the 'Local Group of galaxies') are moving towards the Virgo Cluster which is our nearest cluster of galaxies.
The Guru Granth Sahib also says:
“The sun and the moon obey His laws. They move billions of miles and never stop.” SGGSJ page 464
