Why Jupiter DOESN’T Orbit Sun?

The fifth planet from the Sun and owner of the most iconic stormy swirl in the Solar system, Jupiter is nothing if not massive. So massive, in fact, that the planet doesn’t simply orbit our sun, but drags it along for the ride.
Since all the planets exert a gravitational pull on the sun, there exists a center of gravity, also called Barycenter between them. For most of the planets in our solar system, the barycenter exists either at or near the core of the sun. That’s because the sun is so much more massive than all the planets, yet there is actually one exception to this. The barycenter between the sun and Jupiter actually exists outside of the sun’s surface.
Thus, the sun and Jupiter actually orbit this point. Technically, the two objects orbit each other, although Jupiter’s orbit around the sun is much more obvious. The gravitational pull of Jupiter causes the sun to move in a small orbit around a point that exists outside of the sun itself. Although the sun does not technically orbit Jupiter, the gravitational pull of the gas giant does cause the sun to move.
