Difference between Epoch (astronomy) and Mean anomaly

Epoch (astronomy) vs. Mean anomaly

In astronomy, an epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity, such as the celestial coordinates or elliptical orbital elements of a celestial body, because these are subject to perturbations and vary with time. In celestial mechanics, the mean anomaly is an angle used in calculating the position of a body in an elliptical orbit in the classical two-body problem.

Similarities between Epoch (astronomy) and Mean anomaly

Epoch (astronomy) and Mean anomaly have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apsis, Celestial mechanics, Mean longitude, Orbital elements, Semi-major and semi-minor axes.

Apsis

An apsis (ἁψίς; plural apsides, Greek: ἁψῖδες) is an extreme point in the orbit of an object.

Mean longitude

Mean longitude is the ecliptic longitude at which an orbiting body could be found if its orbit were circular and free of perturbations.

Orbital elements

Orbital elements are the parameters required to uniquely identify a specific orbit.

Semi-major and semi-minor axes

In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the widest points of the perimeter.

Epoch (astronomy) and Mean anomaly Comparison

Epoch (astronomy) has 63 relations, while Mean anomaly has 23. As they have in common 5, the Jaccard index is 5.81% = 5 / (63 + 23).
