Original Note:
Jupiter does not prevent 100% asteroids 'falling into sun', or more import, Earth. It has been shown that it can protect from long period comets entering solar system, but studies/modelling shows it actually increases the number asteroids as can nudge them out of orbit. https://earthsky.org/space/is-it-true-that-jupiter-protects-earth/ https://www.sciencefocus.com/space/does-jupiter-really-protect-us-from-cosmic-impacts https://arxiv.org/abs/0806.2795
