Nasa says earth is not revolving around the sun what is barycenter

Earth-Sun News: Since school days, we have been taught that our Earth revolves around the Sun. All the planets of the solar system revolve around the Sun. Now the American space agency NASA has presented new information. If we believe this, then the Earth is not revolving around the Sun at the moment. NASA says that the Earth is revolving around a barycenter. This is the center of mass in the orbiting body system. According to NASA, if a cosmic playground is imagined, where the Sun and the Earth act as an axis. The point around which both balance themselves is called the barycenter and right now it is not inside the Sun.

According to NASA, even though the Sun’s enormous mass pulls the Earth into its orbit, according to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, this attraction is two-way. The Earth also exerts a gravitational force on the Sun in its own way.

The pull of Earth’s gravity is minuscule compared to the pull of the Sun’s gravity, but it is enough to change the position of the barycenter. The barycenter is usually close to the Sun’s center, but planets such as Saturn and Jupiter can occasionally pull it out of the Sun’s orbit.

NASA has also talked about Kepler’s third law, which describes the relationship between the masses of two objects revolving around each other. According to NASA, imagine for a moment that a small star is revolving around a larger star. In fact, they revolve around a common center of mass, called the barycenter.

According to NASA, the Sun has the most mass in our solar system. Because of this, the barycenter is usually very close to the center of the Sun. But it is not necessary that it is inside the center of the Sun. The barycenter can be brought out of the Sun’s range due to the impact of giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. The report says that at present the barycenter is outside the Sun and hence the Earth’s orbit is not around the Sun, but around a point in space.
