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!

False! What you wrote is true, but it doesn't make the comment above false!

False! Bears beat Battlestar galactica

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.

False!

You forgot to prefix your comment with "False!".

Objection!

False, the barry center is currently outside the sun but will return to a point within the Sun's surface sometime in 2027 and will then exit again sometime in 2033.

The center of solar system is not always between those two objects. Half the time they're both on the same side of the center
