Barycenter
The barycenter is the point
between two objects where
they balance each other. It is
the center of mass where two
or more celestial bodies orbit
each other.
The barycenter is always near the more massive object.

2. Revolution –Earth spins around the Sun.
- completes in 365 days (year).
3. Precession – Earth’s axis spins/rotates.
- completes in 26,000 years.
- changes our northern star.
4. Nutation- irregularity ( zig-zag) in Earth’s precession by
½ or 0.5 degree.
- influences seasons.
5. Earth’s 23.5 degrees tilt on its axis is responsible for the
seasons, not the distance from the Sun.

Barycenter
The barycenter is the point
between two objects where
they balance each other. It is
the center of mass where two
or more celestial bodies orbit
each other.
The barycenter is always near the more massive object.
