What is the Center of Our Solar System?

Answer – The center of our solar system is widely regarded to be the Sun.

Explanation:

The solar system is the system comprising the Sun and the celestial bodies that are bound to it by gravitational force. 

The Sun itself is widely regarded to be the center of the solar system. However, the true center lies a little above the surface of the Sun. This is due to the effect of the various objects that orbit it. They themselves exert gravitational pulls on the Sun, shifting it slightly off-center. (Jupiter, due to its size, is a major cause for this).
