Planet position forms the base that sets the mechanics of astrology in motion. The planetary position gives the degree, minutes and seconds of the Zodiac over which celestial bodies are transiting at ...

The Red Planet will be at its closest point to Earth, also known as perigee, on Jan. 12 and will be exactly opposite the sun ...

However, gravitational forces diminish with distance. That is, the destruction of distant stars or planets outside our solar system or galaxy would have an unnoticeable effect on earth.

Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It's ...

Transit timing variations are changes in a planet’s orbital timing caused by gravitational interactions with nearby planets. For TOI-1408c, these variations amount to 15% of its orbital period ...

The Sun is the largest object in the Solar System. The Sun’s huge gravitational field keeps many other objects – planets, dwarf planets, asteroids and comets – in orbit around it.

Gravity provides the force needed to maintain the stable orbit of planets around a star and also of moons and artificial satellites around a planet. The moons around planets in the Solar System ...
