First, we will write a program that numerically finds the position and velocity of the earth as it orbits the sun. Second, we will write a program that numerically finds position and velocity of the moon as it orbits the earth as the earth orbits the sun. Third, we will write a program that numerically finds the position and velocity of a large star such as the sun as a massive planet orbits it, or rather as they orbit and affect each other. To calculate these movements we will use basic equations of motion and Kepler\u2019s laws.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/magnes\/files\/2015\/04\/Screen-Shot-2015-04-01-at-12.10.11-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4239\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/magnes\/files\/2015\/04\/Screen-Shot-2015-04-01-at-12.10.11-AM-300x282.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-04-01 at 12.10.11 AM\" width=\"300\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/magnes\/files\/2015\/04\/Screen-Shot-2015-04-01-at-12.10.11-AM-300x282.png 300w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/magnes\/files\/2015\/04\/Screen-Shot-2015-04-01-at-12.10.11-AM.png 607w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using the Euler cromer method, we will investigate the movement of solar entities in orbit.
