matterdoc Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Heliocentric solar system was envisaged from observed relative positions of sun and few of its planets. Gradually Kepler's 'laws on planetary motion' came to dictate all aspects of planetary orbits. Currently, planetary orbits are considered as closed geometrical paths around their central bodies. However, it should be noted that by simple mechanics, it is impossible for a free planet to orbit around its moving central body. Real shapes of planetary orbits are wavy paths along with path of its central body. Heliocentric model of solar system can provide relative positions of its constituents and nothing more about orbital motions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
