The prominent 1.6-year periodicity in solar motion due to the inner planets

Abstract

Abstract. The solar motion due to the inner (terrestrial) planets (Mercury, Me; Venus, V; Earth, E; Mars, Ma) has been calculated (here for the years 1868-2030). The author found these basic properties of this motion: the toroidal volume in which the Sun moves has the inner radius of 101.3 km and the outer radius of 808.2 km. The solar orbit due to the inner (terrestrial) planets is "heart-shaped". The orbital points which are the closest to the centre lie at the time distance of 1.6 years (584 days), on the average, and approximately coincide with the moments of the oppositions of V and E. The spectrum of periods shows the dominant period of 1.6 years (V-E) and further periods of 2.13 years (E-Ma) (25.6 months, QBO), 0.91 years (V-Ma), 0.8 years ((V-E)/2) and 6.4 years. All the periods are above the 99% confidence level. A possible connection of this solar motion with the mid-term quasiperiodicities (MTQP, i.e. 1.5-1.7 years) in solar and solarterrestrial indices can be proposed.

The influence of planetary attractions on the solar tachocline

“…The thermal buoyancy contribution seems to be the main driving acceleration for the rising of the flux tubes. A rough estimation of the relative density change yielded 5 Â 10 À 3 , which is comparable with the situation in Be ´nard cells (Chandrasekhar, 1961).…”

Possible Origin of Some Periodicities Detected in Solar‐Terrestrial Studies: Earth's Orbital Movements

“…Periodicities between 1.5 and 1.7 years, especially 1.6 years (Charvátová, 2007), are profusely found in all of the parameters analyzed. The most important term producing supra‐annual oscillations in (also in ) is of 1.6 years period ( in ).…”

“…These kinds of associations can be found profusely in solar/geophysics literature and we present a selection of them in what follows. Charvátová (2007) identified common periodicities in proxies of solar activity, geomagnetic indices, and cosmic rays series, with planetary periodicities present in the solar movement around the Solar System barycentre, that is, the solar barycentric motion (SBM), especially the 1.6 years period, and others similar to harmonics of the synodic periods of the terrestrial planets. Hydrologic cycles of large rivers have been linked to specific SBM's periodicities (Antico & Kröhling, 2011; Tomasino et al., 2004; Zanchettin et al., 2008); these associations were made by means of common periodicities (∼8 year) present in both the discharges of these rivers (the Po River in Europe and the Paraná River in South America) and the orbital angular momentum of the Sun.…”

Basic Physical Properties of the Physical Non-material World Objects

“…Recently, I. Charvatova disclosed influences of the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars on solar activity and solar-terrestrial phenomena (Charvátová, 2007;Dmitriev et al, 2009). And, I. Charvatova revealed a role of planets oppositions in the phenomena.…”
