Function Model Solar Solar system System

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on creating a function that models planetary motion according to Kepler's laws, specifically ensuring that planets travel equal areas in equal times. The user is utilizing Blender, a 3D application, to program this path. A link to Kepler's laws is provided for reference. The goal is to accurately represent the dynamics of planetary orbits in a visual format. This approach highlights the intersection of mathematics and 3D modeling in simulating celestial mechanics.

Here's the main problem. I'll like a function of distance with respect to time which moves the planets in accordance to Kepler's law: planets in orbit travel equal area in equal time. I use a blender, a 3D app that allows for path programming.

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
