Guest guest Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 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? ________________? Please assist with this fundamental question that helps comprehend order, Hora, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 Om Shreem Vachaspataye Namah Dear Frank, Try to write speed in terms of zodiacal movements like degrees per day movement in the zodiac and then order them. That would give a geocentric view. Like for moon 12 approximate degrees per day, sun 1 degrees per day, 0.032 degrees per day for saturn. -Warm regards S.Prabhakaran varahamihira , " fls999999999 <frank_in_sandiego@c...> " <frank_in_sandiego@c...> wrote: > 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.
