6. • Gravitation, or gravity, is a natural phenomenon
which all physical bodies attract each other.
• It is most commonly experienced as the agent that
gives weight to objects with mass and causes them
to fall to the ground when dropped.
7. GRAVITY keeps the moon orbiting
Earth
It holds stars
together . . .
Prevents
planets
from losing
their
atmospheres . . .
And binds galaxies together
for billions of years . . .
9. Falling objects accelerate at a
constant rate (Galileo):
Speed is gained at a constant rate:
9.8 m/sec/sec

Acceleration is same for ALL OBJECTS,
regardless of mass!
11. • Newton’s 2nd
law ⇒ force (F) is acting on
falling ball (mass = m)
• All masses have same acceleration
. . . so more mass means more force
needed:
mF ∝
F

15. 1. ⇒ Increase one or both masses, and force increases.
2. ⇒ Force decreases as distance increases.

• Acts through empty space
“action at a distance”
• Explains how gravity behaves – but not why
20. Weight
• Measure of gravitational attraction of Earth
(or any other planet) for you.

21. Other planets: M and R change, so your
weight must change
Mars: R = 0.53 x Earth’s radius
M = 0.11 x Earth’s mass

33. Yet, patterns may be discerned . . .
• Planets remain near ecliptic – within Zodiac.
• Brightness changes in a regular pattern.
• Mercury & Venus always appear near Sun in sky.
• Mars, Jupiter & Saturn may be near Sun, but needn’t be.
• Planets travel eastward relative to stars most of the time,
but sometimes they reverse direction & go west!
36. Motionless Earth
* Earth too heavy to be moved
* If Earth moved, wouldn’t we notice?
> Relative motion argument
> Parallax argument
Earth at center of Universe
* This is Earth’s ‘natural place’
> Heavy stuff sinks
* This is the natural place of humankind
> We’re most important (?)
40. Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 – 1543)
• First modern
heliocentric (sun-
centered) model of
solar system
• Founder of modern
astronomy
• Not first astronomer!
48. • Any motion controlled only by gravity is an orbit
Without gravity
With gravity
NEWTON: Gravity explains how planets (and
moons & satellites & etc.) go.
Sun
49. Several trajectories are possible. . .
Object is effectively
continuously falling
toward the sun . . .
. . . But never gets
there!

56. “By the study of the orbit of Mars, we must either
arrive at the secrets of astronomy or forever remain
in ignorance of them.”
- J. Kepler
Tycho Brahe
57. 1. Planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun
at one focus

Semi-major axis (a)

58. PerihelionAphelion
Earth: a = 1.00 AU = 92, 980.000 mi
aphelion = 1.0167 AU = 94,530,000 mi
perihelion = 0.9833 AU = 91,420,000 mi
67,000 mi/hr
59. Eccentricity (e): Measure of shape of ellipse
e = c/a a = semi-major axis
c = dist center to focus
0 < e < 1
60. a e

Pluto 39.5 0.250
Halley’s Comet 17.8 0.967

between planet & sun

equal areas in equal times

62. 3. The cube of the mean planet-sun distance
is
directly proportional to the square of the
planet’s orbit period

= P2
a: AU
P: years
Or,

68. Finally (at last ) . . . the true story of orbits
We left something out . . .
Sun
Planet
Sun pulls on planet . . . planet pulls on sun
⇒ Sun moves a little, too!
Yikes!
