Just out of curiousity, google "mass of the solar system," and you will discover stuff like this:
... It ( the Sun ) contains more than 99.8% of the total mass of the Solar System (Jupiter contains most of the rest). ...
That's right, all the rest of the mass of the solar system- us, inner planets, gas giants that are almost big enough to be stars, the asteroid belt, the cosmic dust- is .2%
That tells me the Sun is the master controller... as I suspected nearly 40 years ago upon learning this obscure but telling fact.
