    Mass Venus
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the determination of Venus's mass using the gravitational parameter GM from a paper by Konopliv et al. The user initially struggles with significant discrepancies in their calculations, suspecting unit confusion. It is clarified that the standard gravitational parameter μ is often expressed in different units, specifically in km³ s⁻² rather than m³ s⁻², which accounts for the orders of magnitude difference. The user acknowledges this realization and thanks another participant for the insight. Understanding the correct units is crucial for accurate calculations in celestial mechanics.

TL;DR Summary
Trying to determine the "strange" units this paper is using.
Venus is in the news! I looked up this well-regarded paper by A. S. Konopliv, W. B. Banerdt, and W. L. Sjogren
Venus Gravity: 180th Degree and Order Model
They list values for GM (see attached picture), such as
GM 324858.63 ± 0.01
so in principle calculating M should be trivial. The problem is I am orders of magnitude off from the actual value. I thought perhaps they were using cgs units, but that gives a value for M that is 15 orders of magnitude off. Clearly, I'm missing something. I looked through the paper and couldn't find anything that clarified the situation. Anyone know the units they are using or what I am missing? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Just to clarify, this is NOT for homework or any school related activity. Simply my own understanding.

Wikipedia said:
In celestial mechanics, the standard gravitational parameter μ of a celestial body is the product of the gravitational constant G and the mass M of the body.
\mu =GM\

For several objects in the Solar System, the value of μ is known to greater accuracy than either G or M.The SI units of the standard gravitational parameter are ##m^3 s^{−2}##. However, units of ##km^3 s^{−2}## are frequently used in the scientific literature and in spacecraft navigation.
That's your 9 orders of magnitude difference.

Thanks Bandersnatch, in retrospect that should have been pretty obvious!

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
