Please don't post after 5 joints.

The Sun and the Earth orbit around their common centre of mass.

If you're OCD, otherwise "around the sun" is near enough.
Well no, that not nearly near enough., they all in fact orbit round te C
of G of the galaxy...oh noes, and that's is orbiting around...the c of G
of the unknown universe,

Or if you 'believe Einstein' nothing is orbiting anything, just rolling
around curved tracks made by bent space.

Its a shame you are so thick. There is an amazing world out there. possibly.
