Thread: Sun-Earth Lagrange Points
Hi,
have slowly figured out the Sun-Earth Lagrange
Points,am thinking as with the Earth-Moon Lagrange
Points,you trade the Sun for the Earth and you trade
the Earth for the Moon-the pattern stays the same.
Drawing a line from the Moon to the Earth and on till
it crosses the Moon's Orbit and you have L-3 at that
point,going back on that same line on the far side of
the Moon,about 40,000 KM out,is L-2;on the other side
of the Moon on that same line is L-1,again about
40,000 KM from the Moon.Using the Earth as a center
point,L-4 is about 60 degrees up,in the orbit of the
Moon and L-5 is about 60 degrees below,in the orbit
of the Moon.
Now the Sun-Earth Lagrange Points are in
same pattern,substituting the Earth for the Moon,then
L-1 and L-2 are about 1,500,000 KM on either side of
the Earth,on the plane of the Solar System,on a line
that goes through the Earth and the Sun and crossing
the orbit of the Earth on the far side of the Sun
is L-3(to think-some day in the future,maybe hundreds
of Space Colonies with trillions of People,will live
at that Lagrange Point on the far side of the Sun);L-4
L-5 again will be 60 degrees above and below the
Earth,in the orbit of the Earth.
Have made a poster
of both the Sun-Earth and the Earth-Moon Lagrange
Points and will be happy to mail my posters to any
person,free-no charge,that is interested,if they
email me a postal address,have a good day,bye for
now.
