Speed of Planets and their use to order them

[Guest guest]

Om Sri Rama Jai Jai Rama,

 

Namaste,

re: speed of planets and thier order.

I see Saturn ( slowest) to Moon ( fastest) as the order, but

do not undersand how Sun is is positioned 4th ( either slowest or

fastest).

When we measure fast or slow, it's the time taken for a graha to

make one complete revolution ( 360 degree) around a body.

Sani takes 29.5 years around the sun, yet we measure Chandra taking

27.3 days to complete a cycle aound the earth. NOt the same metric,

Yet being geocentric this difference can be rationlized.

 

YET, Surya takes 25 (earth) days to complete one revolution around

its axis, making it faster then the moon. We surely do not want to

measure the time Surya ( and the solar system) takes to go it's

center - in this case would be the galaxy, taking ~ 250 million years

if my memory serves me correctly.

 

So, how do we reconcile this? Could it be:

A. Since Surya has perfect satvic motion, it is positioned in the

middle ( balanced; not fastest, not the slowest, just right!)

in the order Sani,Jupiter, Mars, SUN, Venus, Mercury, Moon.

B. Other ideas and knowledge on this? ________________?
