The velocity vectors -with a common origin- of the 9 planets of the Solar System during one plutonian year [Les vecteurs vitesses -avec une origine commune- des 9 planètes du système solaire pendant une année plutonienne].




The velocity of the 9 planets of the Solar System are displayed with a common origin. The non still extremities are moving along quasi-circles (the so-called hodograph(s)).


See the hodographs of 5 of the 9 planets:
