Updating the Historical Perspective of the Interaction of Gravitational Field and Orbit in Sun-Planet-Moon System

Abstract

Studying the two famous old problems that why the moon can move around the Sun and why the orbit of the Moon around the Earth cannot be broken off by the Sun under the condition calculating with F=GMm/R2, the attractive force of the Sun on the Moon is almost 2.2 times that of the Earth, we found that the planet and moon are unified as one single gravitational unit which results in that the Sun cannot have the force of F=GMm/R2 on the moon. The moon is moved by the gravitational unit orbiting around the Sun. It could indicate that the gravitational field of the moon is limited inside the unit and the gravitational fields of both the planet and moon are unified as one single field interacting with the Sun. The findings are further clarified by reestablishing Newton’s repulsive gravity.
