It's cool when you think of all the reference points we know of so far... First, you are sitting on the Earth, in front of your phone/computer while the planet spins roughly 1000 kilometers an hour on it's tilted axis, creating our days/nights. Next, the planet itself is orbiting around our local star, Sol/the Sun at around 30,000 kilometers per hour creating our seasons due to that axial tilt of the planet Next the Sun itself is moving roughly 800,000 kilometers per hour around the super massive black hole, Sagittarius A* (well not so much the black hole itself but more the gravitational well of everything in the center). It takes roughly 230 million years to do one rotation, which shows how big just our galaxy (of of potentially a trillion or so) are. Also, the sun, if you were to view it edge on to the galaxy plane at a distance, will Bob up and down in a sin curve as it orbits the center of the galaxy. It doesn't stop there...the Milky Way is in what we call the Local Group and it and the Andromeda galaxy are heading towards eachother with them expected to start merging in about 4-5 billion years (actually supposedly the intergalactic medium is already starting to interact) Next, the Local Group, is part of the Virgo Supercluster which is part of the even bigger Laniakea supercluster are all heading toward a bigger gravity source known as the Great Attractor; its tough to tell what it is as the direction is in the field of view that the center plane of our galaxy obscures (since we see our galaxy edge on from our perspective). Recent studies shows its an even larger supercluster in that direction. Lastly, on the galactic level, all of the universe is expanding (and picking up in that speed), making the distance between galaxies / clusters further apart/ aka Dark Energy
