I wanted to know this:

Q: What is the difference of the earth distance and the barycenter of the earth and sun?

(Note I accidentally wrote "earth distance" instead of "earth-sun distance")

A: The earth-distance is the distance between the center of the Earth and the center of the Sun. The barycenter of the Earth and Sun is the point in space where the two bodies are balanced in terms of their gravitational pull. The barycenter of the Earth and Sun is not necessarily located at the same distance from either body, as the Earth's mass is much greater than the Sun's, so the barycenter is located closer to the Earth than to the Sun.

Oops. Laugh | :laugh:

Fixed the question:

Q: What is the difference of the earth-sun distance and the barycenter of the earth and sun?

A: The earth-sun distance is the distance between the center of the Earth and the center of the Sun. The barycenter of the Earth and Sun is the point in space around which the Earth and Sun orbit each other. The barycenter is located slightly off-center from the Earth-Sun distance, closer to the Sun.

And asked again:

Q: What is the difference of the earth-sun distance and the barycenter of the earth and sun?

A: The earth-sun distance is the distance between the center of the Earth and the center of the Sun. The barycenter of the Earth and Sun is the point at which the two bodies are balanced, and is located slightly outside the center of the Sun and slightly inside the center of the Earth.

I guess it's all in how you ask the question. What I really wanted to know was the km's.

Q: How many kilometers between the center of the sun and the earth-sun barycenter?

A: The average distance between the center of the Sun and the Earth-Sun barycenter is approximately 149.6 million kilometers.

No, that's the average distance between the earth and the sun, lol.

I guess Chat GTP hasn't read:

Quote:
Since the Sun is much more massive than Earth, the center of mass is closer to the Sun.
The center of mass, in fact, is inside the diameter of the Sun, so the resulting wobble caused by Earth is small.
Planetary orbits and barycenters Β« KaiserScience[^]

Wikipedia[^] actually answers this question - the distance from the primary (the sun) to the barycenter for the earth is r1 = 449 km.
