mathematical formulation describing the motion of the planets around the sun

Description

The acceleration of a celestial body can be calculated from Newton's Law of Gravitation. Each body attracts each other body, the total acceleration being the sum of all these attractions.

Defining Formula: ${\overrightarrow{a}}_j=\sum _{i\ne j}^{n}G\frac{M_i}{|{\overrightarrow{r}}_i-{\overrightarrow{r}}_j{|}^3}({\overrightarrow{r}}_i-{\overrightarrow{r}}_j)$

$G$ represents gravitational constant

$a$ represents particle acceleration

$m$ represents mass

$r$ represents particle position
