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

      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.

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