Earth's motion around the Sun, not as simple as I thought

It's called the force of gravity. The textbooks have the sun as an essentially fixed point because it is true when taken from the frame of reference of the solar system. All the material in the solar system shares the same velocity (vector of speed and direction of motion) through the galaxy. If there's no difference in relative motion, objects interact as if there is no motion in their mutual frame of reference.

Apparently you never finished high school physics or you'd know this already.

Excellent video. The internet needs more of this kind of stuff and less of the Niburu kind of bullshit. My only complaint is whenever I see planetary motion drawings, they're always done on a horizontal plane. Relative to ourselves, the planet goes 'over' and 'under' the Sun vertically, not 'around' it horizontally. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to see it done in a way that reflects the apparent motion of the sun across the sky at most latitudes.

Not sure why you have so many negative votes...

[TerrorDactyl96]

Yes, but it was exaggerated for demonstrative purposes.

[TerrorDactyl96]

Yes, but all of the objects in the solar system travel at the virtually the same velocity as well, so your comment is irrelevant.

[mikedelhoo]

Yep, definitely.

Cool
