Mean anomaly

Mean anomaly logo #21000 ==Formulas== To find the position of the object in an elliptic Kepler orbit at a given time t, the mean anomaly is found by multiplying the time and the mean motion, then it is used to find the eccentric anomaly by solving Kepler`s equation. Again n is the mean motion. However, t, in this instance, is the time since epoch, which is how much time ....
