High School Can we treat Earth as stationary and the sun as orbiting it?
Much appreciated from all. I think I might understand, and although your explanation is good I'm afraid I wouldn't without Feynmans lecture series here By our understanding of models or representations or whatever (I don't want to be to specific in the wording) things could work any of these...- jackoblacko

I could see this too, haven't hear it said this way. The observation I think of is watching the sun go across the sky, and we are unable to tell if it is the sun moving or the earth. Of course there are other 'observations' than visual but some of the people with physics degrees told me to...- jackoblacko

Agreed this is what I was under the impression of which was why its just perspective to say one certain way :redface:- jackoblacko

so Earth and the sun orbit each other around a point inside the sun, but Jupiter and the sun orbit each other around a point above the suns surface. Doesn't this describe two different patterns of the sun? That the sun is orbiting around a spot inside itself and outside itself?- jackoblacko

Does this mean in reality Earth orbits sun or sun orbits Earth are both correct?- jackoblacko

I'm curious how you left out A but included B. And E doesn't seem to fit here either.- jackoblacko

High School Can we treat Earth as stationary and the sun as orbiting it?
Apologies, I can certainly be bothered however, I am not good with words. My question was simply doesn't the Earth orbit the sun equal to the sun orbiting the earth. In other words i was under the impression that its just a perspective we take for our general math that the sun is the center...- jackoblacko

Or sit in your bedroom, fire up some youtube lecture from top universities around the world lulz. Thx, all I obv got to study up before I can ask such a question. I wish I made a poll though in the meantime: A) Earth orbits suns B) Barycentric C) Either Earth orbits sun, or Sun orbits...- jackoblacko
