Heliocentric |
Refers to a reference system centered at the sun. For example, the heliocentric distance to an object is the distance between the object and the sun's center. |
NOTE:
The list of defined terms to the left is by no means exhaustive with
respect to the general subject of solar system dynamics.
The terms listed are thought to be those more commonly used on our site
and thus appropriate for inclusion on this page.
