Sun. is the star in the center of our solar system, this is known by most of the world, but what many people did not know is that the planets do not revolve around it. More precisely, the planets in the solar system revolve around its center, so they do not directly orbit the sun, and the animation above shows us exactly what happens to the planets Jupiter and Saturn, and how they influence the star in the center of the solar system.
Sun. it revolves around the barycenter of the solar system, that is, the center of mass of the system, and the planets orbit it directly, affecting the way the star moves around it. You can see in the image above how the two planets influence the way the sun rotates around this barycenter, Jupiter and Saturn using their gravitational forces to influence the movements of the star, and it's a very interesting game that happens between them.
The Sun: IMPRESSIVE VIDEO, what you did NOT think was possible
Sun. its center is very rarely aligned with that of the solar system, and although everyone still believes that all the planets revolve around the star, in reality this does not happen. The sun even rotates at distances of up to 5 million kilometers from the barycenter of the solar system, sometimes passing right over it, and we are talking about very large variations in the way things move in the universe, and this shows us how much we still do not know many about the star.
"The natural thinking is that we orbit the center of the Sun, but that happens very rarely. It is very rare for the center of mass of the solar system to line up with the center of the Sun. The Sun actually orbits Jupiter. So every planetary system orbits an invisible point, including the star or planet that appears to be at the center. Barycenters sometimes help astronomers find hidden planets around other stars because they can calculate that the system contains mass that they can't see."
Sun. it still remains the most important object in our solar system, and that's because it gives us all the heat we need to survive, but it also offers other not very beneficial things. The planets interact with the sun through gravitational forces, or at least some of them do, while in the case of others it is about the simple force of attraction, but at least now you have seen how things are in reality in the solar system.
Sun. it remains very important for the Earth, but it is interesting that it is also influenced in its movements by the great planets Jupiter and Saturn in the solar system.
