“Some people say light is waves, and some say it’s particles, so I bet light is some in-between thing that’s both wave and particle depending on how you look at it. Am I right?” “YES, BUT YOU SHOULDN’T BE!”
Surly the sun is big wnough that the point actually being orbited is still within the sun?
For our solar system: mostly. But if we lived in a binary star system, the distinction would be much more obvious.
Well we aint in a binary star system are we.
I haven’t asked the solar system for their pronouns.
How would physics know that? We orbit the same point, regardless of the number of stars. (It’s called the barycentre).
yes, the earth-sun barycenter is still well within the sun.
not sure why other commenters felt the need to give snark lol
