Repulsion forces between satellite and central body.

The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.

The elliptical orbits of the satellites in our solar system cause the satellites to collide at an angle with the Sun’s gravitons. This exerts a slight outward pressure forcing the satellite away from the central body. There are two main factors that influence the repulsion force: The concentration of the Sun’s gravitons that the satellite must negotiate its way through, and the sharpness of the angle taken by the satellite as it rounds the Sun. The greater the angle of displacement, the greater the repulsion force. It is somewhat analogous to a boat crossing a river. If the boat heads directly across stream, the force of the water on the side of the boat may well cause you to capsize; whereas, if you take a less direct route, the crossing is easier.

Because all planets have an elliptical orbit, there is one point where the planet is closest to the Sun (perihelion) and another point where it is at maximum distance from the Sun (aphelion). At perihelion, the concentration of the Sun’s gravitons is greatest and the angles taken by the planet in orbit are the most acute. At this point, there will be maximum repulsion. At aphelion, the concentration of the Sun’s gravitons is least and the angle of displacement is least, which means the force of repulsion will be least.

This repulsion force is very small compared to the force of attraction between satellite and central body; however, it helps to explain several observations in our solar system: satellite migration, Mercury’s strange orbit, planet tilt on axis, and Earth’s polar wobble on axis. I will discuss each one in separate blogs.
