Description
A formula derived from a theory of gravitation is applied to periods, or distances from the sun, of orbiting bodies of the solar system extending to beyond the Kuiper belt and into the Van Oort Cloud. It includes the periodic comets and asteroids. The formula gives discrete distances for 38 selected solar bodies, as well as discrete periods of the major comets, within an average relative deviation of 1.8\% from the observed values.
