    I’ll probably get down voted for this opinion, but the earth is round and orbits the sun.

      I’ll probably get downvoted for this opinion, but people should return their shopping carts to the corral and not poop in the street.

        False! They all exist in a complex system of gravitational pull where all bodies, not just these two, have differing degrees of influence on each other dictated by distance and mass!

        The barycenter of the earth-sun orbit is within the surface of the sun, therefore the earth is understood to orbit the sun.

        The JUPITER-Sun orbit barycenter, however, is outside the surface of the sun.

        I liek spec

        The center of solar system is not always between those two objects. Half the time they’re both on the same side of the center

        False! The common center of gravity is well within the sun, not between the earth and sun.
