“Again, if I’m wrong I hope someone corrects me.”

You almost got it correct, because the Sun and all other bodies of mass (planetary bodies, asteroids, comets, meteors, dust gas) in the Solar System orbit around their common barycenter of mutual gravitational attraction, which happens to be located within the Sun due to the Sun’s overwhelmingly greater proportion of mass versus the other matter in the Solar System.

Thanks for the reply. It's too early to look anything up, so in post #18 I just took a guess about the effect of centripetal acceleration. Your opinion?

Bing a Saudi, perhaps he thinks the earth and sun revolve around Arabia.
