A More Accurate Period to Mean Distance Relation ( Applied to Mars)

Authors: Erik Gaylan Bergren

An improvement over the usual relation between a Planet's Period and its Mean Distance (semi-major axis) is presented and is compared against the standard relation that is used by JPL's Horizons web app, and against the previous improvement made in the Astronomical Almanac's Orbital Parameters Tables. The experimental data used for the comparisons is the 30390 year JPL Ephemeris integration DE441, analyzed specifically for the Planet Mars, which produced reference values of 686.979857 days per revolution and 1.5236886591 AU for the Period and Mean Distance of the Orbit of Mars respectively.
