This oscillation is very negligible. The amplitude of oscillation on galactic place is 105light years at Max. Whereas sun make nearly 3 such oscillations in one galactic rotation in a period of 240 Million LY. This means that in travelling 40 MLY on galactic plane, sun reaches the amplitude max. So if you calculate the angle which the sinusoidal path makes ...
