This video shows the motion of the Sun relative to the barycenter of the Solar System.
The trajectory of the Sun relative to the barycenter is a complex curve. Part of the time the barycenter is located inside the Sun, part of the time is outside of it.
It is clearly seen that the Sun is moving away from the center of mass of the Solar System as much as possible when the two largest planets (Jupiter and Saturn) are on the same side of the Sun. Conversely, the barycenter is as close as possible to the center of the Sun when Jupiter and Saturn are on opposite sides of the Sun.
The other planets of the Solar System also influence the trajectory of the Sun around the barycenter, but their influence is significantly less than the influence of Jupiter and Saturn.
Watch the video with subtitles.
Modeling and rendering were performed using own software. The calculations took into account the mutual influence of the Sun and all the planets of the Solar System on each other.
