Did you know planets don& #39;t technically orbit the Sun? Instead, everything orbits the Solar System center of mass, even the Sun! While the Sun contains 99.8% of the Solar System& #39;s mass Jupiter holds most of the rest (Saturn is 2nd), so the Sun actually orbits Jupiter slightly —

Here is the motion of the Sun& #39;s center as viewed from the bottom of screen to illustrate this works in 3d as well (the Sun doesn& #39;t move up/down much, but it ain& #39;t nothing)

The planets do orbit the Sun of course, we are just being pedantic about the situation. The natural thinking is that we orbit the Sun& #39;s center, but that very rarely happens, i.e. it& #39;s very rare for the solar system& #39;s center of mass to align with the Sun& #39;s center
