Why Earth’s Orbit Around The Sun Isn’t What You Think

As a result, the Earth is not currently orbiting a point inside the Sun, as the barycenter is outside of it. We are orbiting that point in space, rather than the Sun. Though the planets are generally talked about as orbiting the Sun's center, that isn't quite true, largely because of gas giant Jupiter's influence.

The Sun’s secret role in shaping comet paths and meteor showers

The way comets behave in space may seem random, but new research suggests there’s more order behind the chaos than once believed. A recent study led by researchers at the SETI Institute reveals that many of the twists and turns seen in long-period comets and their meteoroid trails come from the Sun’s own motion—not just the pull of planets.
