“What absolute reference point do you use? Either way you get a angular velocity of 0.00416°/second between you and the sun.”
If the angular velocity between you and the sun is 0.00416°/second and your absolute angular velocity as measured with an accurate LRG is zero, then you are being orbited by the sun.

However, if your LRG also shows an angular velocity of 0.00416°/second, then you are rotating.

Either way, the angular velocity between you and the sun is still the same.
