Jupiter is the fifth planet from sun. it 's 2.5 times the mass of all other planet in the solar system combined in fact, that Jupiter doesn't actually orbit the sun. it heavy enough that the center of gravity between the Sun and Jupiter isn’t actually inside the sun but just above the sun’s surface. The center of gravity resides so close to the center of the object that the impact of this phenomenon is negligible. The largest object doesn't really move and the smaller one starts orbiting around it.But when a small object orbits a big object in space, the less massive one doesn't really travel in a perfect circle around the larger one.In fact, two objects orbit a combined center of gravity. for explain more, we'll take the example of international space station. When the International Space Station orbits the Earth, both the Earth and the space station orbit around their combined center of gravity.But that center of gravity is so ridiculously close to the center of the Earth that the planet's motion around the point is impossible to spot, and the International Space Station made a near-perfect circle around the whole planet. Same thing happens when most of the planets orbit the sun. the sun and the Jupiter orbit around a specific point. The gas giant is so big that its center of mass with the sun, actually lies 7% of a sun radius above the sun's surface.If we just see the sizes of both, Jupiter is still only a fraction of the sun's size. That is, in essence, how Jupiter and the sun move through space together.But this is an interesting thing to say that Jupiter is so massive, it doesn't orbit the sun.
