[QUOTE="diogenesNY, post: 6031826, member: 166358"] Further to the point, regardless of Newtonian or otherwise... the orbit of a planet is a matter of (fairly complex) kinematics, with factors such as collisions with other celestial bodies (meteors, comets, etc) having effects, as well as complex effects of other gravity wells (such as other planets) in the system. There are also complex variables associated with how any given planet formed (or was captured), adding yet more potential eccentricities. A planet orbiting around a star is not defined by a simple, clean perfectly abstract 2 body equation. There is a complex dance of both ongoing and intermittent forces at play. The solar system is a very busy place. Lots going on. diogenesNY [/QUOTE]
