A question about planet "Jupiter"?

Jupiter is orbiting the sun and has been for millions of years before the Internet was invented.

It’s just a bit of nonsesnse to confuse the rubes. The sun and planets actually orbit the center of all the mass in the solar system. But since better than 99.9% of that mass is in the sun, the sun’s orbit barely amounts to a wobble

It’s not a NASA rumour. Jupiter’s large mass and significant distance from the Sun means that it orbits around a barycenter just outside of the Sun’s surface.

OMG!! How can anyone in 2017 give even a second’s worth of credence in such hogwash.

LOL

Here’s a simple explanation of the barycenter and how Jupiter and the sun interact with it, from NASA directly.

good work!

@Muad_Dib A simple yet explanatory answer. Those GIF’s are quite helpful… Thanks all.

The true meaning gets lost (and sensationalized) when the statement is shortened to fit a single Tweet.
