The Earth is so small compared to the Sun.

One astronomer once commented that the solar system consists of the Sun and Jupiter, plus some miscellaneous debris. However, the Earth does cause the sun to orbit about the two body's common center of gravity in an eccentric manner, describing a complete circle or elipse once per year. This would be detectable from other stars with sufficiently sensitive spectroscopy. We do not currently possess such technology, but it is just around the corner, I am told. On the other hand, we could EASILY make out the wobbles caused by Jupiter and Saturn, I am told, with our current technology, if we were living on a planet orbiting tau Ceti, for instance.

do you mean "we" the human race or "we" the Earth? The earth actually causes the sun to wobble slightly; it's how "we" are detecting planets on those stars up in the sky. If you mean "we" the human race, then we are probably insignificant, though we did send some probes to look at the sun. see http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/

"From the Sun's point of view"? No, we don't even exist.
But from the Son's point of view by whom and through whom all things came into existence, we are very precious in His sight!
Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, 16 because by Him all things were created, those in the heavens and those on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him.

The Sun is a gigantic chemical reaction. It doesn't have a point of view.

yes as small as we are our gravity actualy pulls on that big lemon drop in the sky we call the sun causing to wobble ever so slightly

yes.. we are the stubborn dust particles in the sun not wanting to burn away that the sun has always wanted to.
