How is the Sun tilted to its orbit around the Milky Way's center?

Question

We know how the Sun is tilted in reference to its planets but how is it tilted to Sagittarius A or its orbit around it? Or isn't it tilted at all?

It isn't really correct to talk about the Sun's orbit around Sagittarius A*. The gravitational influence of the supermassive black hole isn't relevant in our neck of the woods. — , Feb 12 '20 at 20:31

The wikipedia page says

Obliquity 7.25°[2] (to the ecliptic) 67.23° (to the galactic plane)

Interesting fact: the sun's layers rotate at different speeds, as well as different rates depending on latitude.
