Data : Normal Vectors to the Orbital Planes of the 9 Planets

Description

The 9 planets in our solar system are evolving the sun via their own orbits. This data provides normal vector of the orbital planes. Normal vectors are unit-norm vectors, so that they are thought to reside on 2-dimensional sphere.

Usage

data(orbital)

Format

an (9\times 3) matrix where each row is a normal vector for a planet.

See Also

wrap.sphere

Examples

## LOAD THE DATA AND WRAP AS RIEMOBJ
data(orbital)
myorb = wrap.sphere(orbital)

## VISUALIZE
mds2d = riem.mds(myorb)$embed
opar <- par(no.readonly=TRUE)
plot(mds2d, main="9 Planets", pch=19, xlab="x", ylab="y")
par(opar)
