I'll probably get down voted for this opinion, but the earth is round and orbits the sun.

False! The Earth and Sun orbit the center of gravity between the two of them!

False! They all exist in a complex system of gravitational pull where all bodies, not just these two, have differing degrees of influence on each other dictated by distance and mass!

The barycenter of the earth-sun orbit is within the surface of the sun, therefore the earth is understood to orbit the sun.

The JUPITER-Sun orbit barycenter, however, is outside the surface of the sun.
