EXAMPLE 84. THE PLUTO SYSTEM AND THE FOUR SLOW-ROTATING INNER SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES.
The Four SLOW-ROTATING Inner Solar System Bodies are:- (A). The Sun, and (B). Mercury, and (C). Venus, and (D). The Moon.
This image displays The SUM of The ANGLES rotated by The Four Satellites of (binary planet) Pluto/Charon during the rotation period of each of these four bodies.
DEMONSTRATION:- Binary planet Pluto/Charon consists of Pluto and Charon. It is considered to be a binary planet because Charon has the largest size of any satellite (IN RELATION TO ITS PARENT PLANET) in The Solar System.
Here are the names and rotation periods (expressed in Earth days) of The Four Satellites of (binary planet) Pluto/Charon:- Styx 20.16155 and Nix 24.85463 and Kerberos 32.16756 and Hydra 38.20177
(A). The Sun’s rotation period = 24.66225 Earth days.
(24.66225 ÷ 20.16155) + (24.66225 ÷ 24.85463) + (24.66225 ÷ 32.16756) + (24.66225 ÷ 38.20177) = 3.6278 rotations.
0.6278 x 360 = 225.99 degrees.
That is 3 complete rotations + 225.99 degrees.
(B). Mercury’s rotation period = 58.6462 Earth days.
(58.6462 ÷ 20.16155) + (58.6462 ÷ 24.85463) + (58.6462 ÷ 32.16756) + (58.6462 ÷ 38.20177) = 8.6267 rotations.
0.6267 x 360 = 225.6 degrees.
That is 8 complete rotations + 225.6 degrees.
(C). Venus’ rotation period = 243.0187 Earth days.
(243.0187 ÷ 20.16155) + (243.0187 ÷ 24.85463) + (243.0187 ÷ 32.16756) + (243.0187 ÷ 38.20177) = 35.7474 rotations.
0.7474 x 360 = 269.1 degrees.
That is 35 complete rotations + 269.1 degrees.
(D). The Moon’s rotation period = 27.321661 Earth days.
(27.321661 ÷ 20.16155) + (27.321661 ÷ 24.85463) + (27.321661 ÷ 32.16756) + (27.321661 ÷ 38.20177) = 4.0189 rotations.
0.0189 x 360 = 6.8 degrees.
That is 4 complete rotations + 6.8 degrees.
