Estimation Of Planetary Orbits Via Vectorial Relativity (Vtr), Jorge A. Franco Sep 2008

Estimation Of Planetary Orbits Via Vectorial Relativity (Vtr), Jorge A. Franco

Jorge A Franco

The equation (approximate) for the Movement of Planets about a Massive Body, according to the theory VTR, is: d2u/(d2) + (1-6).u = , where u = 1/r and  are parameters. Applying the previous model we obtain the paths of several planets of the Solar System. In addition we obtain the precession for every planet using the formula given by the Vectorial Relativity and we compare it with the values of the precession given by the GTR (General Theory of the Relativity).
