Explanation: At 0:40 Leno claims it's the Sun's gravity that keeps the earth orbiting the Sun, but in fact the gravity from the Earth and Sun are equally important in maintaining the Earth's orbit.

Kinda minor, but ironic considering this segment was specifically meant to mock poor scientific understanding.
