Indeed. It's even sillier if you use the Earth-Sun semi-major axis as the radius. V = (6.98x10^-5rad/s)(1.5x10^12m) = 1.05x10^8m/s ≈ 1/3c F = (1.9x10^30kg)(1.05x10^8m/s)^2/(1.5x10^12m) = 1.397x10^34N Sorry, I don't have a ton of experience with angular velocity. Is acceleration...

For the purpose of this model, yes. Later, I can make some adjustments to the values so I'm not just copying our solar system. Though 'orbit', in this case, is a bit of a misnomer. More like "made to move in a circle", as 'orbit' would imply gravity is the acting force, and would therefore limit...

Hello. This might seem like a silly topic, but I could use some help to build a geocentric model of a solar system. Wait! Hear me out! I'm doing bit of of creative writing, and have a story idea for a sci-fi in which a system is discovered that has a star, moon, and several planets orbiting...
