The difference orbit inclination makes
Read OriginalThis article explores the impact of Mars' orbital inclination (about 1.85°) on the distance between Earth and Mars over time. Using simplified circular orbits with radii 1 and 1.5 AU, the author derives a formula for distance including inclination and compares it to the coplanar case. The plots show the inclination effect is roughly three orders of magnitude smaller than the main distance variation, but its pattern is erratic. The included Python code demonstrates the calculation. This is a technical analysis relevant to orbital mechanics and scientific computing.
