Parameters - Longitude Of The Periapsis

Longitude of the periapsis This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. Please help us clarify the article; suggestions may be found on the talk page. (July 2009) In celestial mechanics, the longitude of the periapsis (symbolized ϖ) of an orbiting body is the longitude (measured from the point of the vernal equinox) at which the periapsis (closest approach to the central body) would occur if the body's inclination were zero. For...

Parameters - Argument Of Periapsis

Argument of periapsis The argument of periapsis (also called argument of perifocus or argument of pericenter), symbolized as ω, is one of the orbital elements of an orbiting body. Specifically, ω is the angle between the orbit's periapsis (the point of closest approach to the central point) and the orbit's ascending node (the point where the body crosses the plane of reference from South to North). The angle is measured in the orbital plane...
