Every now and then yt space channels will be like "Jupiter is not orbiting the sun!!" or "the Sun is not the center of the solar system!!"
Those statements are true but worded clickbaityly.
Technically speaking nothing in Solar System orbits the Sun. What they are orbiting is called the solar system barycenter (SSB).
A barycenter is an imaginary point in space where the gravitational force of 2 or more bodies cancel each other out.
The simplest example is the Pluto-Charon system.
See this animation for example. You can see Pluto seems to be orbiting "nothing", but that nothing is called a barycenter, where gravity of Pluto and Charon cancel out. If you were to sit in this "nothing", gravity from Pluto and Charon will pull on you equally.
This is true for any systems with 2 bodies or more. Earth-Moon system is not exempt. However, we don't perceive the Earth and the Moon as "orbiting each other", because the barycenter of both bodies is well inside Earth. The greater the mass difference, the deeper the barycenter is located inside the more massive body.
And yes, this does apply to the entire Solar System. But not just the planets, the dwarf planets, the asteroids, and comets. The Sun is also orbiting around a barycenter, the solar system barycenter (SSB) I mentioned earlier.
Like the Earth-Moon system, the SSB is very very deep within the Sun. Extremely deep, because the Sun accounts for 99.86% of the entire mass of the solar system. Remember that the greater the mass difference, the barycenter is located deeper inside the more massive object.
In fact the SSB is constantly changing as all the 8 planets, dwarf planets, asteroids and comets orbit the Sun. But again the Sun takes up 99.86% the mass of the entire solar system so the change is so minuscule and so insignificant.
This concept of barycenter is often not taught in school grade science, especially the "Sun is not the center of the solar system" part. Because the SSB is so deep within the Sun that it's not a big deal in the first place.
It's easier to just comprehend and digest that the Sun is the center of solar system.
yourself doesn't mean sit there and things will get better its doing thins you like even if others don't like it. it means surrounding yourself with people who make you truely happy it's disagreeing with people sometime its trying things that intrest you even if others think it werid or your not good at it. and really going out ther and being you is the best thing you can be
It’s crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.
My FUCKING HEART DUDE
Why why......... 😭😭😭😭😭. But I also need more.
powerless saiki realizing for the first time how terrifying it is to never know for sure if people are being genuine or not. he can't even take a good guess because, with his powers spoiling him all his life, he never developed the social skills to tell. he has so much trouble even meeting people's eyes.
so, he develops even worse trust issues and somehow even more severe social anxiety. (which is awful for him because he already had that with his powers and a lot of it was CAUSED BY his powers, so he thought that maybe this would help calm it down. not only did it not get rid of it in the first place because surprise, kusuo, its a disorder you have thatll never go away, but it also ended up making it WORSE? what. the fuck.)
anyway, he starts avoiding everyone in his life because of this. he was already fearful of them betraying him one day even with his powers (cat tank situation amplified this to hell too..) so now he is absolutely terrified and so insecure and convinced that theyre all gonna turn on him someday and he wont know !! what if they all secretly start hating him and talk badly about him together behind his back ?? especially now that his awful social skills are on full display, how could he think they would LIKE him ?? nah, hes out.
all his friends are so confused because there was such a quick switch and it was seemingly totally random, he just suddenly started acting weird one day and now hes just avoiding them all? he jumps every time they even try to come up to him and will literally just turn around and run off, thats so concerning ?? what happened ??
Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”
@localbisexual333 thanks for the request!
