With the sun at the origin, compute the total angular momentum of the earth, and compare the magnitude of the contributions from the angular momentum of the center of mass and the angular momentum about the center of mass. You can make simplifying assumptions, like that the orbit is circular, that the earth is perfect sphere, etc.
