  2. Numerical model of the Solar System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_model_of_the...

    In essence this mathematical simulation of the Solar System is a form of the N-body problem. The symbol N represents the number of bodies, which can grow quite large if one includes the Sun, 8 planets, dozens of moons, and countless planetoids, comets and so forth. However the influence of the Sun on any other body is so large, and the ...

  3. Galactic year - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_year

    The Solar System is traveling at an average speed of 230 km/s (828,000 km/h) or 143 mi/s (514,000 mph) within its trajectory around the Galactic Center, [3] a speed at which an object could circumnavigate the Earth's equator in 2 minutes and 54 seconds; that speed corresponds to approximately 1/1300 of the speed of light.

  4. Solar System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System

    The Solar System remains in a relatively stable, slowly evolving state by following isolated, gravitationally bound orbits around the Sun. [28] Although the Solar System has been fairly stable for billions of years, it is technically chaotic, and may eventually be disrupted. There is a small chance that another star will pass through the Solar ...

  5. Sphere of influence (astrodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_of_influence_(astro...

    Because the definition of r SOI relies on the presence of the Sun and a planet, the term is only applicable in a three-body or greater system and requires the mass of the primary body to be much greater than the mass of the secondary body. This changes the three-body problem into a restricted two-body problem.

  6. Orbital eccentricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_eccentricity

    Comet C/1980 E1 has the largest eccentricity of any known hyperbolic comet of solar origin with an eccentricity of 1.057, [10] and will eventually leave the Solar System. ʻOumuamua is the first interstellar object to be found passing through the Solar System. Its orbital eccentricity of 1.20 indicates that ʻOumuamua has never been ...

  7. Position of the Sun - Wikipedia

    An interactive calculator showing the Sun's path in the sky. NOAA Solar Calculator, at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratories's Global Monitoring Division website. NOAA's declination and sun position calculator; HORIZONS System, at the JPL website. Very accurate positions of Solar System objects based on the JPL DE series ephemerides.
