        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.

          False, the barry center is currently outside the sun but will return to a point within the Sun’s surface sometime in 2027 and will then exit again sometime in 2033.
