805Jupiter doesn't orbit the sun!
All the planets in the Solar System orbit the Sun except for Jupiter.
Jupiter is so big that its gravity has a significant effect on the Sun. This causes Jupiter and the Sun to actually orbit each other. Specifically, Jupiter and the Sun orbit a common point between them, called the barycentre.
This causes the Sun to travel in circles around this invisible point in space. It also means that the centre of Jupiter's orbit is not within the Sun itself.
