What it means
It is so heavy that the sun and Jupiter orbit a common center of gravity that sits just outside the sun's surface, so strictly speaking Jupiter does not orbit the sun, the two of them circle a point between them. Its gravity has shaped the whole system, clearing and stirring the asteroid belt and deflecting or capturing comets that might otherwise have reached the inner planets.
