... The path of a planet around the Sun is due to the gravitational attraction between the Sun and the planet. Gravity is a force of attraction or pull. The moon’s gravity can cause the Earth’s tides. The amount of gravity depends on total mass and distance of objects’ centers. The larger mass=more pull ...

Plotting planets
... The orbits of all planets except Earth lie in planes different from the ecliptic. In order to plot a planet’s motion, planetary coordinates must be converted to ecliptic coordinates. How to do this is determined by the remaining three of the planet’s elements. As the planet moves around its orbit, t ...
