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, at present the Earth is not revolving around the Sun. NASA says that the Earth is revolving around a barycenter. It is the center of mass in the orbiting body system. According to NASA, if we imagine a cosmic playground, where the Sun and the Earth act as an axis. The point around which the two balance is called the barycenter and is not yet inside the Sun.

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

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

NASA Kepler also talks about Kepler’s third law, which explains 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 big star. Actually they rotate around a center of mass, which is called barycenter.

According to NASA, the Sun has the highest 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 reach by the impact of giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. The report says that currently the barycenter is outside the Sun and hence the Earth’s orbit is not around the Sun, but around a point in space.
