Gaussian year

In Astronomy, a Gaussian year is a definite Unité of time like equal to: 365.2568983 D (either 365 D 6 H 9 min 56 S). Historically, it is about the value adopted by Carl Friedrich Gauss for the sidereal Année in its studies on the dynamics of the solar system; the sidereal year has a different value nowadays and that used per Gauss was baptized of its name.

Definition

By definition, a negligible particle of mass which orbits a body of a solar Masse with a period of one Gaussian year has a Equatorial radius of a astronomical Unité.

The value of the Gaussian year is derived from the third law of Kepler:

\ mbox {1 Gaussian year} = \ frac {2 \ pi} {K} \,

where

K is the gravitational Constante of Gauss.
