Here's why:
* Distance: VV Cephei is located approximately 5,000 light-years away from Earth. This is far beyond the reach of the Sun's gravitational influence.
* Gravity: Stars are held together by their own mutual gravitational attraction. The two stars in VV Cephei are bound together by their combined gravitational pull, forming their own system.
* Orbit: The two stars in VV Cephei orbit a common center of mass, not the Sun.
Therefore, VV Cephei does not orbit the Sun. It orbits another star within its own binary system.
