Received: 30 Sep 2013 – Revised: 11 Nov 2013 – Accepted: 12 Nov 2013 – Published: 16 Dec 2013 Abstract. Observations of solar and planetary orbits, rotations, and diameters show
that these attributes are related by simple ratios. The forces of gravity
and magnetism and the principles of energy conservation, entropy, power laws,
and the log-normal distribution which are evident are discussed in relation
to planetary distribution with respect to time in the solar system. This
discussion is informed by consideration of the periodicities of
interactions, as well as the regularity and periodicity of fluctuations in proxy
records which indicate solar variation. It is demonstrated that a simple
model based on planetary interaction frequencies can well replicate the
timing and general shape of solar variation over the period of the sunspot
record. Finally, an explanation is offered for the high degree of stable
organisation and correlation with cyclic solar variability observed in the
solar system. The interaction of the forces of gravity and magnetism along
with the thermodynamic principles acting on planets may be analogous to
those generating the internal dynamics of the Sun. This possibility could
help account for the existence of strong correlations between orbital
dynamics and solar variation for which a sufficiently powerful physical
mechanism has yet to be fully demonstrated.
