  2. Universe Sandbox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe_Sandbox

    Universe Sandbox is a series of simulation video games.In Universe Sandbox, users can see the effects of gravity on objects in the universe and run scale simulations of the Solar System, various galaxies or other simulations, while at the same time interacting and maintaining control over gravity, time, and other objects in the universe, such as moons, planets, asteroids, comets, and black holes.

  3. Numerical model of the Solar System - Wikipedia

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

    To calculate the accelerations the gravitational attraction of each body on each other body is to be taken into account. As a consequence the amount of calculation in the simulation goes up with the square of the number of bodies: Doubling the number of bodies increases the work with a factor four.

  4. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem_in...

    The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci. A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. Kepler published the first two laws in 1609 and the third ...

  5. Planetary mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_mass

    The choice of solar mass, M ☉, as the basic unit for planetary mass comes directly from the calculations used to determine planetary mass.In the most precise case, that of the Earth itself, the mass is known in terms of solar masses to twelve significant figures: the same mass, in terms of kilograms or other Earth-based units, is only known to five significant figures, which is less than a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimEarth

    SimEarth: The Living Planet is a life simulation game, the second designed by Will Wright, published in 1990 by Maxis. In SimEarth , the player controls the development of a planet . English scientist James Lovelock served as an advisor and his Gaia hypothesis of planet evolution was incorporated into the game.

  8. Patched conic approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patched_conic_approximation

    The simplification is achieved by dividing space into various parts by assigning each of the n bodies (e.g. the Sun, planets, moons) its own sphere of influence.When the spacecraft is within the sphere of influence of a smaller body, only the gravitational force between the spacecraft and that smaller body is considered, otherwise the gravitational force between the spacecraft and the larger ...

  9. VSOP model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSOP_model

    The TOP2013 solution is the best for the motion over the time interval −4000...+8000. Its precision is of a few 0.1″ for the four planets, i.e. a gain of a factor between 1.5 and 15, depending on the planet, compared to VSOP2013. The precision of the theory of Pluto remains valid up to the time span from 0 to +4000. [9]
