Varahamihira] Speed of Planets :: Doubt is still present

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

Thanks for the note, yet the speed of the sun is still in question.

I will assume that we use the time the Sun takes to transit 1 sign.

If so this still makes it slower then Mercury and Venus,

Yet it is postioned Sani,Jupiter, Mars, SUN, Venus, Mercury, Moon.

The logic is still eluding my common sense...

any help here is appreciated.

 

Pranams,

Frank

Visti, I thought of adding for those interested in the astronomy of planets that the orbit speeds (around the sun, that is) of Venus and Jupiter are surprisingly the same, with Mars 70% more, Mercury 169% more and Saturn 29% less than Venus and Jupiter. One thing more... Saturn moves only about 22.5 times slower than the speed of light, yet he's the astrological sloth

 

Warm regards,

Hare Rama Krishna

 

 

 

Yes Ramapriya, in regards to speeds then yes. But this isn't relevant in the context of Horas, where we only use the 7 Sthira Karaka.

And Rahu / Ketu somewhere between Shani and Guru... correct?

Hare Rama Krishna

 

 

 

Yes Frank, Sun is slower than Venus and Mercury.

Hence the order begining from the slowest is:

 

Shani, Guru, Mangal, Aditya, Shukra, Buddha and Chandra.

Dear Ramapriya,

You said,

 

>One thing more... Saturn moves only about 22.5 times slower than the

speed of light, yet he's the astrological sloth

 

What do u mean by this?. Which speed of saturn?.

 

Speed of light is approximately 3Lakh(10^5) Kilometers per sec.

 

Warm Regards

Dear Sanjay,

 

Saturn laps 1427 million kilometers by hurtles through space at 17355

kilometers per hour, which is about 5.8% the speed of light. Like I said in

that piece of my mail that you snipped, that bit of info was for those who

find astronomy amusing

 

Warm regards,.

 

Ramapriya
