  No, it is not true in general that the barycenter lies outside both objects.

    I mean, sure, but you can reasonably glean that I’m just talking about the fact that any 2 objects with mass exert gravity on each other. This post is facebook-tier

      I can’t reasonably glean that, because the OP clearly says this:

      It is so massive that both Jupiter & Sun orbit around a common point that lies outside the Sun known as the “barycenter”.

      I agree that OP is facebook-tier but your reply is reddit-tier :P

        You’re being pedantic to levels most redditors could only dream of. Barycenter aren’t even necessarily outside the 2 objects, if you took the OP to mean that, it’s incorrect information anyways.

    Barycenters are not necessarily outside the objects, either.
