Did you know?
I found this "Shorts" video that made me give pause! The Planet Jupiter does not orbit the Sun!!! Now that something I never knew from my Physics classes... Let me know what you think about this!
Further, "If You Think Jupiter Orbits the Sun, You're Mistaken ...
Take our largest planet Jupiter, for instance. It doesn't orbit the sun's center — it orbits a spot in empty space between it and the sun called the barycenter. This is because the sun doesn't just exert gravity on Jupiter — Jupiter's so big that its own pull affects how the sun moves, too." - June 9, 2023
Enjoy,

Sgt (Join to see) That is amazing! Thanks for sharing. Not anything in an Astronomy class either! Interesting enough to look into further . . . sort of resembles how a binary star system functions. I have often wondered if any of the gas giant planets were failed stars.
Happened upon an article long ago that was about the placement of planets in our early solar system If I remember correctly it was a paper connected the moon theory - how because of the gravity one of the gas giants a planet that was suspected to having impacted earth, early on, which resulted in the moon. (Will share if I find it again.) Reading about barycentre . . .
