Astronomical Object Motion

Astronomical object motion refers to the movement of celestial bodies, like planets, stars, and moons, as they interact through gravity. These objects follow predictable paths called orbits, influenced by the mass of nearby bodies and their distances. Kepler's laws describe these motions; for instance, planets travel faster when closer to the sun. Additionally, perturbations can occur due to gravitational influences from other bodies. Understanding these motions is crucial for astronomy, navigation, and studying the universe's structure and evolution.
