Description

Neglecting dwarf planets, satellites (e.g. Moon), asteroids, as well as the interaction with other stars or exoplanets. The numerical model of the Solar System consists of a set of mathematical equations, which, when solved, give the approximate positions of the planets as a function of time.

Contained entities

solar system equations of motion	${\vec{a}}_{j} = \sum_{i \neq j}^{n} G \frac{M_{i}}{\| {\vec{r}}_{i} - {\vec{r}}_{j} \|^{3}} ({\vec{r}}_{i} - {\vec{r}}_{j})$
	$G$ represents gravitational constant
	$a$ represents particle acceleration
	$m$ represents mass
	$r$ represents particle position
