Abstract

Empirical data for all planets in the solar system were analyzed to determine the kinetic, potential, and total energy of each, as well as the area each sweep out per second. As expected, it is the conservation of angular momentum, and not the conservation of energy, that ensures planets sweep out equal areas in equal times through any orbit region. Planets all follow the Second Fundamental Theorem of the Calculus while orbiting, where swept area increases progressively as a function of distance from the sun. The potential energy for each is twice the kinetic energy which is consistent with theoretic explanation. The Universal Gravitation constant G for a quantity of mass is not altered by huge changes in planet temperatures which clarify a property of gravity. Unique features of the planetary orbits further expand the Newton explanation that the system behaves as a vast wound clock, rather than a random assemblage of planets.
