Apparent relations between planetary spin, orbit, and solar differential rotation R. TattersallUniversity of Leeds, Leeds, UK
Received: 06 Oct 2013 – Revised: 26 Nov 2013 – Accepted: 28 Nov 2013 – Published: 16 Dec 2013 Abstract. A correlation is found between changes in Earth's length of day [LOD] and
the spatio–temporal disposition of the planetary masses in the solar system,
characterised by the z axis displacement of the centre of mass of the solar
system [CMSS] with respect to the solar equatorial plane smoothed over a
bi-decadal period. To test whether this apparent relation is coincidental,
other planetary axial rotation rates and orbital periods are compared, and
spin–orbit relations are found. Earth's axial angular momentum moment of
inertia, and internal dynamics are considered in relation to the temporal
displacement between the potential stimulus and the terrestrial response.
The differential rotation rate of the Sun is considered in relation to the
rotational and orbital periods of the Earth–Moon system and Venus and
Mercury,
and harmonic ratios are found. These suggest a physical coupling between the
bodies of an as yet undetermined nature. Additional evidence for a resonant
coupling is found in the relation of total solar irradiance (TSI) and galactic cosmic ray (GCR) measurements to the
resonant harmonic periods discovered.
