Technically, the sun is pulled by the earth too so it’s sort of true.
My thought exactly but isn't the common center still inside the sun?
Yes, but they still both orbit the black hole in the center of our galaxy
The urge to orbit a black hole is universal
Only until we find something heavier
Looks over shoulder Nobody's going to take this? Sighs Fine. I'll get this one. Clears throat
Now we all orbit KidnappedByKitties mom.
Get in line! It's you, everyone and the rest of the universe!
Orbiting...
Slowly watching...
Slowly descending towards the crushing abyss...
Fast or slow, near or far, there is inevitably only Mother...
And the complete annihilation of her touch
The common centre is the galaxy they both ~~orbit~~ spiral around together.
Then, the galaxy moves around some other point along with other galaxies.
Then, a bunch of aliens are playing with marbles.
Thanks, kurzkesagt
