The Solar System Mechanics II

My first American Chronicle ® article entitled "Solar System Mechanics" shared an item from my book to show how the Miles-Mass for the Sun when divided by the mean orbital radius of a planet would give you the exact mean orbital velocity of the planet express in miles per second squared. For Earth that is 31830914183.8 / 92961440 = 342.41, which square root = 18.5 average mps velocity. If you do everything in miles for each planet as I did for the Earth you will get accurate results. I mentioned that you could derive the planets period by this means but I did not go through the steps at the time. It is simply the mean orbit radius that for Earth is 92961440 miles times 6.2832 to get the orbit circumference that you divide by the mean orbital velocity of 18.5 miles per second, getting, 31572720 mean seconds for the orbit. Divide that by 86400 seconds in an Earth day so you have a period of 365.425 days. The real count is 365.25 days and the difference is due to rounding in the calculations. When you do this for other planets and you divide by 86400 daily seconds you will get Earth equivalent results, meaning the Earth measured days in the orbits of the other planets.

When I originally worked out these details I was impressed with the ease that miles worked with the numbers of the Solar System. I went on to find that this was just a small part of what can be discovered in this mechanical system.

As I mentioned before, the Miles-Mass number for the Sun is derived from, (200,000,000,000 / 6.2832) 31830914184 which I contend is the minimum radius of the Solar System and the point where an objects will orbit the Sun at 1 mps.

When I discovered that underlying fact it was possible to demonstrate numerically that every point in space from the Sun going out into space had a predetermined gravitational speed based solely on the distance that point was from the Sun. The significance of this determination serves as proof that the mass of the orbiting object has apparently nothing to do with the objects orbital velocity or its Mass. It works like invisible tracks in space. We can swap planets and orbits and the orbital velocity will remain the same. This meant that mean orbital radius and orbital velocity when expressed in miles are just about synonymous. This opened the door to what I consider an important discovery of mine dealing with some fine points on the systems mechanics.

I will explain the basics in this article while reserving the remainder for the book or for a follow up article on this topic later on. For this I will use Jupiter as my example. If we agree that every mile in space has a speed lane of its own then we can conclude that Jupiter covers many such speed lanes due to its size. Note not all of the published data will show the same orbit radius for Jupiter. I will use one. They are all very close to each other. Jupiter´s published mean orbital radius is 483,612,285 miles and will be J. Jupiter´s radius of 44,423 miles and will be R. The Sun´s Miles-Mass will be S. Now for the fun of it suppose that Jupiter was two small objects of 1-mile diameter each located at the extremes of the current orbit. The result would be:

((S/(J-R)) = 65.82.51233904 ^(1/2) = 8.11326835439, mps.

((S/(J+R)) = 65.8130315517 ^(1/2) = 8.11252313104, mps.

The orbital velocity difference, #- .00074522335 mps.

In Surfing the Solar System I refer to this as the position #.

The unique position number can be derived for each planet or satellite and it will show some unusual workings in the Solar System´s mechanics. The Earths position number is .000789. I rounded that from .0007889. One example: The seconds in an Earth year are ((92961440*2)*3.1416)/18.5 = 31,572,719.989. The Earth´s equatorial circumference is (7926.6*3.1416), or 24,902.2 miles, 24092.2 divided by .000789 = 31,561,732, or a quick demo of the seconds in one Earth year slightly off due to rounding of the long numbers. This will work for all of the planets using their unique position number. At almost any office supply store you can purchase an inexpensive small 12 digit electronic calculator with a square root key to do all of this for yourselves. I am still working on this project and I am still going back over the stuff in my book looking for ways to further develop the methods I have already developed. To me this is fascinating. The accuracy is self-evident.
