  2. Barycenter (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycenter_(astronomy)

    In astronomy, the barycenter (or barycentre; from Ancient Greek βαρύς (barús) 'heavy' and κέντρον (kéntron) 'center') [1] is the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit one another and is the point about which the bodies orbit. A barycenter is a dynamical point, not a physical object.

  3. Barycentric coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_coordinate_system

    A 3-simplex, with barycentric subdivisions of 1-faces (edges) 2-faces (triangles) and 3-faces (body). In geometry, a barycentric coordinate system is a coordinate system in which the location of a point is specified by reference to a simplex (a triangle for points in a plane, a tetrahedron for points in three-dimensional space, etc.).

  4. Two-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem

    The two-body problem is interesting in astronomy because pairs of astronomical objects are often moving rapidly in arbitrary directions (so their motions become interesting), widely separated from one another (so they will not collide) and even more widely separated from other objects (so outside influences will be small enough to be ignored safely).

  5. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

    His answer came in his law of universal gravitation, which states that the force between a mass M and another mass m is given by the formula =, where r is the distance between the masses and G is the gravitational constant. Given this force law and his equations of motion, Newton was able to show that two point masses attracting each other ...

  6. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    The barycenter is the point between two objects where they balance each other; it is the center of mass where two or more celestial bodies orbit each other. When a moon orbits a planet , or a planet orbits a star , both bodies are actually orbiting a point that lies away from the center of the primary (larger) body. [ 25 ]

  7. Barycentric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric

    Barycenter or barycentre, the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit each other; Barycentric coordinates, coordinates defined by the common center of mass of two or more bodies (see Barycenter) Barycentric Coordinate Time, a coordinate time standard in the Solar system; Barycentric Dynamical Time, a former time standard in the Solar System

    mass1 / mass2 * distance * .5 = barycenter distance = distance between the centers of the 2 objects mass1 = smaller of the 2 objects mass2 = larger of the 2 objects barycenter= ration of mass between the 2 objects * distance divided ny 2 it doesn't just just looks easier to understand than the formula presented. computers can run it faster ...
