Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gravitational pull of Jupiter is the most likely cause of the observed variation in the velocity of the Sun. Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System and it exerts a strong gravitational pull on the Sun. This causes the Sun to move slightly as it orbits around the center of mass of the Solar System. This motion leads to the observed variation in the velocity of the Sun over time. The other options are unlikely to be the primary cause of the observed variation.
