...the planets can cause the sun to orbit itself typically 30 feet.

Do you really think that a 30-foot movement of an object 800,000 miles across will really have any effect on something 93 million miles away?

The sun does wobble but it wobbles far more than 30 feet and its pretty complex.

The planets and sun orbit a common center of gravity (a spot in empty space) Then the planets all have eliptical orbits which also wobble due to the gravitational pull of their moons. There are probably thousands or millions of other factors at play.

I’d hate to even try to make any predictions and be held to them.
