Yes. The sun rotates about the central mass point of the solar system.
Other have said yes, once every 28 days or so. That is wrong. The sun
revolves on it's axis once every 28 or so days.

The Earth revolves on it's axis once every 23 hours 56 or so minutes.
The Earth rotates about the Earth/Sun mass point once every 356.25 or so
days.
The two words are different in meaning and implementation.
