Solar System Dynamics

Solar System Dynamics studies the movements and interactions of celestial bodies within our solar system, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, using the principles of celestial mechanics. It explores how gravitational forces influence their orbits, the stability of these orbits over time, and how factors like the Sun’s energy affect these bodies. This field also encompasses the study of phenomena like tidal forces and resonances, which can alter orbits or cause migrations. By understanding these dynamics, we gain insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system, as well as potential future changes.
