Lost Genius | Geometry in the solar system @goldsphere | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated February 16 2024
Based on the work of John Martineau in his book, "A Little Book of Coincidence", this video shows some of the geometries that occur within the orbits of the solar systems planets. I have taken planetary speeds and orbital periods to ascertain a mean orbital circumference. I have also added the planets apoapsis and periapsis from the sun as offset circles. We find that the geometries also define these distances as well.
Perhaps in the future when looking for "Goldilocks" planets, we will be taking into account the orbital geometries of the star systems other planets.
