Summary
editDescription1911 Britannica - Astronomy - Orbit.png |
English: Celestial Mechanics. Position P, through which the planet passed at an assigned moment, with a given velocity, and in a given direction, represented by the arrowhead. Logically these data completely determine the orbit in which the planet shall move, because there is only one such orbit passing through P, a planet moving in which would have the given speed. It follows that the elements of the orbit admit of determination when the co-ordinates of the planet at an assigned moment and their derivatives as to time are given. Illustration from 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, article Astronomy. |
