How the planets align
This is the mathematical story of how our solar system is organized. Each planet is a specific distance from the next planet. The average distance between the planets is 1.62 x 10^9 meters. that’s basically equal to (PHI)(1 x 10^9) meters; or φ x 1000000000 = 1,682,000,000m
The central circle represents the Sun although the size is not proportional.
The CAD program would not allow me to use provided circles and still be able to see the image. In fact, I had a really hard time making small circles. This is because I didn’t know how to use the program properly at the time.
Just above the Sun at the beginning of the spiral is Mercury. The planets go in order from there.
Sun = Center
Distance from the preceding planet —— Distance from the Sun
Mercury = Beginning of spiral = 1 @ 58 x 10^9 meters from the Sun.
Venus = 2° in spiral = 1.86 @ 108 x 10^9 meters from the Sun.
Earth = 3° spiral = 1.39 @ 149.66 x 10^9 meters from the Sun.
Mars = 4th in spiral = 1.52 @ 226.82 x 10^9 meters from the Sun.
Asteroid belt = 5º spiral = 1.71 @ 502.66 x 10^9 meters from the Sun.
Jupiter = 6th in spiral = 1.71 @ 778.5 x 10^9 meters from the Sun.
Saturn = 7° in spiral = 1.82 @ 1350 x 10^9 meters from the Sun.
Uranus = 8° in the spiral = 2.01 @ 2880 x 10^9 meters from the Sun.
Neptune = 9º in spiral = 1.56 @ 4500 x 10^9 meters from the Sun.
Average distance between planets = 1.62 x 10^9 meters
Our solar system is basically organized using the golden mean φ = (PHI) = 1.618 as a base measure to separate the planets. the spiral is actually a dual spiral consisting of φ and a sequential Fibonacci pattern. The Fibonacci sequence is the masculine aspect and φ is the feminine aspect of the spiral.
Starting with Venus we begin to add the sequential distances. We do not include the distance from Mercury because it is the first 1 planet and the second 1 in the Fibonacci sequence.
Sun = 1 + Mercury = 1; then Venus = 2 where we start counting all the distances of the planets from the Sun.
Sum of distance between planets —– Fibonacci and φ^x – 1 sequential order.
Mercury = 1; Fib sec.= 1; φ^1 – 1 =.618; difference =.382
Venus = 1.86; Fib seq. = 2; φ^2 – 1 = 1.618; difference =.14;.242
Earth = 3.25; Fib seq. = 3; φ^3 – 1 = 3.24; difference =.25;.01
March = 4.77; Fib seq. =5; difference =.23
asteroid belt = 6.48; φ^4 – 1 = 5.85; difference =.63
Jupiter = 8.19; Fib seq. =8; difference =.19
Saturn = 10; φ^5 – 1 = 10.09; difference =.09
Uranus = 12.01 = φ^5 + 1 = 12.09; difference =.08
Neptune = 13.57; Fib seq. = 13; difference =.57
φ^6 – 1 = 16.94
Fib seq. = 21
φ^7 – 1 = 28.03 = Lunar cycle in days; actual = 28,077 days
I haven’t done the work to determine where Pluto, the Kipper belt, or the Oort cloud reside in the sequence, but I’m sure they’re a very close fit, like the rest of the planets.
Start with the center circle (Sun) and go up 1 unit. From this point we move 90 degrees per planet and mark the position at each point. The first number you see after the planet names directly above are the numbers used to plot the points of the spiral.
continue with the 90 degree rotation of the points and you’ll find that you’re done in about 4.25 revolutions or basically φ^3 revolutions.
This is the true orientation of our solar system. Although the planets move and rarely align in this exact sequence, the actual distance between them is what is relative to the plot. The average distance varies across elliptical orbits, but not much on the cosmic scale.
