How long are years on other planets? A year is defined as the time it takes a planet to complete one revolution of the Sun, for Earth this is just over 365 days. This is also known as the orbital period. Unsurprisingly the the length of each planet’s year correlates with its distance...
The perturbed orbit of one of these, 1685 Toro, has been integrated over 1200 years. The results show that Toro is at present captured in resonance with the Earth and also that Venus has a drastic influence on the orbital elements. Toro's orbit is librating with a main period of 800 ...
This orbital velocity calculator is an advanced tool that you can use to find parameters of planet motion in an elliptical orbit (or in a circular orbit). Do you want to learn what the orbital velocity of Earth is or Jupiter's orbital period? With our orbital velocity calculator, you can...

Astronomical forcing of Earth’s climate is embedded in the rhythms of stratigraphic records, most famously as short-period (104–105 year) Milankovitch cycles. Astronomical grand cycles with periods of millions of years also modulate climate variability
Variations in the Earth’s orbit and spin vector are a primary control on insolation and climate; their recognition in the geological record has revolutionized our understanding of palaeoclimate dynamics1, and has catalysed improvements in the accuracy and precision of the geological timescale2. Yet ...
The Earth hosts life successfully enough as it circles the sun at anaxial tiltof about 23.5 degrees, wiggling only a very little over the millennia. But, Deitrick and co-authors asked in their modeling, what if those wiggles were greater on an Earthlike planet orbiting a similar star?
This simplification is valid since the angular displacement of the planet in its orbit about the Sun is small f o r a period of a few hours. A program option allows the investi gator to examine future conditions by stepping the planet in time within its orbit about the Sun. The ...
This assumed that biological production of trace gases is the same as on Earth. This treatment is consistent with the conservative changes in orbital distance applied in this study. The radiation module employed 52 levels from the surface up to 70 km. The shortwave code was two-stream based ...
In order to investigate the stability of the object in theL4Lagrange point of the Earth, we performed a set of numerical simulations by integrating the nominal orbit, together with 800 clone orbits sampling its uncertainty, over a time span of ~29,000 years. The integration of the orbits has...
