Equations

This document describes the acceleration at a point (x,y) due to the gravitational forces of the Earth and Sun. It provides equations for calculating the x- and y-direction accelerations based on the distances to and masses of the Earth and Sun. A diagram shows the Earth, Sun, and Moon positioned at distances de, ds, and r respectively from the origin.
