Jupiter doesn't orbit the sun! #shorts #science #space #physics

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,
