Solar System Dynamics

Solar System Dynamics studies the gravitational interactions among celestial bodies within our solar system. It involves understanding the orbits of planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, and how these paths are influenced by gravitational forces from the Sun and other bodies. This field uses mathematical models and simulations to predict orbital changes, system stability, and potential impacts, offering insights into phenomena like planetary migrations and long-term orbital evolution.
