Why do the planets go around the Sun?
Quote:
Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground. Heavier objects (really, more massive ones) produce a bigger gravitational pull than lighter ones, so as the heavyweight in our solar system, the Sun exerts the strongest gravitational pull.
Sir Isaac Newton died almost 300 years ago...
Technically, Earth Does Not Orbit Around the Sun
Quote:
"Technically, what is going on is that the Earth, Sun and all the planets are orbiting around the center of mass of the solar system," writes Cathy Jordan, a Cornell University Ask an Astronomer contributor.
"The center of mass of our solar system very close to the Sun itself, but not exactly at the Sun's center."
Which is
assuming that almost 300 years ago Newton got it
perfectly correct and
Mass = Gravity.
Which still, to this day, has neither been confirmed nor denied almost 300 years later...
We really do not have a clue how Planets orbit. We cannot even prove that Mass delivers Gravity in the 1st place...
If uncontested assumptions transformed into (unproven)
Facts such might lead to miscalculated misinformation leading Scientists forward looking for Planets orbitting the Sun that never even existed to begin w/ like
Planet-X
· Planet-X doesnt Exist
· Mass =/= Gravity
· Gravity does not bend LightYouTube Video Placeholder
