What Is the Barycenter in Space?

Posted on at


The Earth orbits the barycenter, the center of the solar system, which
often falls within the sun's mass.

The barycenter in space is the technical term that refers to the center of
the area in which two objects orbit. The Earth does not actually orbit the
Sun itself – it orbits the center of the mass between the planet and the
Sun, which is roughly the center of the sun.
