One method of detecting extrasolar planets involves looking for indirect evidence of a planet in the form of wobbling of its star about the star-planet system’s center of mass. Assuming that the Solar System consisted mainly of the Sun and Jupiter, how much would the Sun wobble? That is, what back-and-forth distance would it move due to its rotation about the center of mass of the Sun-Jupiter system? How far from the center of the Sun is that center of mass?
