The physics behind stable circular orbits in binary stars explores how gravitational forces balance to create long-term orbital stability between two stars. Learn the fundamental principles of ...

Geostationary orbit simulation in GlowScript VPython: a practical tutorial that demonstrates orbital mechanics and physics-based visualization of satellites maintaining a fixed position relative to ...

The shape of a planet's orbit is one of its fundamental properties, along with its size and distance from its host star. Earth has a nearly circular orbit, but some planets outside our solar system, ...

Long-term fluctuations in the intensity and inclination of the Earth’s magnetic field could arise from variations in the eccentricity of our planet’s orbit, according to Japanese geophysicists.
