Titius-Bode Law

The Titius-Bode Law is an empirical pattern observed in the distances of planets from the Sun. It suggests that each planet's orbit distance follows a specific mathematical sequence, where each position roughly corresponds to a predictable number. Starting with Mercury, the distances increase in a way that fits a simple formula, which historically helped scientists anticipate the existence of planets, like Neptune and the asteroid belt. While not perfect and not stemming from a fundamental physical principle, the law highlights an intriguing numerical pattern in our solar system’s structure.
