This book presents a rigorous and comprehensive study of planetary rotation, delving into the fundamental principles that govern the motion of planets around fixed points. It builds upon the groundwork laid by renowned astronomer Pierre-Simon Laplace, providing an accessible and comprehensive guide to planetary rotation within the framework of rigid body dynamics. The author offers a thorough examination of the complex interplay between gravitational forces and rotational motion, utilizing advanced mathematical techniques to derive precise equations for calculating planetary elements. Through these equations, the book empowers readers to accurately determine the orientation and velocity of planets in space. Its in-depth analysis sheds new light on the stability of planetary axes and the intriguing phenomenon of precession and nutation, providing a deeper understanding of the celestial mechanics that shape our solar system.
