In Maxwell's time, most physicists thought that light, like sound, needed some kind of medium for transmission; the mysterious, invisible substance they hypothesized, called the luminiferous ether, would presumably be influenced by the motion of Earth around the sun and the movement of the solar system through the galaxy, a dynamic that stood to alter the speed of light depending on the relative direction from which that light came.

The motions of the planets around the sun has been a subject of deep scientific interest since the advent of the heliocentric theory — the idea that the Earth and planets revolve around the sun — in the 16th century.

The consensus is that several factors are important: atmospheric composition (the concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane); changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun known as Milankovitch cycles (and possibly the Sun's orbit around the galaxy); the motion of tectonic plates resulting in changes in the relative location and amount of continental and oceanic crust on the Earth's surface, which could affect wind and ocean currents; variations in solar output; the orbital dynamics of the Earth - Moon system; and the impact of relatively large meteorites, and volcanism including eruptions of supervolcanoes.

As AP Columbae has similar motion with these Argus stars, it probably formed when they did, about 40 million years ago, and so is probably less than one percent as old as our Sun, Sol (which is around 4.7 billion years old).

Astronomers have used the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array radio telescope to make the first - ever time - lapse movie showing details of gas motions around a star other than our Sun.

If you set out to model the climate of any of those moons, you would need to get their movement with respect to the sun nearly correct, and motion around the solar system barycentre would be part of that.

They If you plot their positions in the solar system's frame of reference, you'll find them tracing an ellipse around the sun, with tiny epicycloids representing their motion around Jupiter.

Earth is certainly transferring angular momentum to the moon and there's also some transfer of angular momentum to the orbital motion of the Earth around the sun as the sun influenced the tides as well.

On the onset of spring, when the Sun comes up over the polar night but the air is still winter - cold, over the Arctic all conditions can suddenly be met to set the catalytic ozone breakdown reaction in motion: sunlight, moist, CFKs [yes, they're still around] and temperatures of -90 ºC (or colder).

The asteroid has a circular orbit around the Sun but at a different speed than the Earth so the motion appears to be like a horse shoe orbit when viewed from Earth.
