quantumclaustrophobe say: It's not actually 'floating'... it's orbiting, around the center of the Milky Way. Just as Earth orbits the sun, the sun is likewise in orbit about the Milky Way. And - we orbit due to gravity.

Innocent Victim say: There is no nearby object with gravity strong enough to make it fall. If another, larger star happened to travel through our solar system, it would plummet like a stone. The sun and all of the other visible stars are in orbit around the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way.
