SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The Lagrange Points are positions where the gravitational pull of two large masses precisely equals the centripetal force required for a small object to move with them.

Detailed explanation-2: -In celestial mechanics, the Lagrange points (/ləˈɡrɑːndʒ/; also Lagrangian points or libration points) are points of equilibrium for small-mass objects under the influence of two massive orbiting bodies.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are Lagrange points? They are places around a planet’s orbit where the gravitational pull of the planet and the Sun and the motion of the orbit combine to create an equilibrium-requiring very little energy to stay in orbit.

Detailed explanation-4: -The L4 and L5 Lagrangian points of the Earth-Moon system are located at  400 000 km from the Earth, while the L2 point of the Earth-Sun system is at a distance of  1.5 x 106 km. The baseline is a Lissajous orbit around the L2 Lagrangian point of the Earth-Sun system.

Detailed explanation-5: -’Lagrangian Point is a location in space between the Earth and the Sun; where the net gravitational force on any body due to both the Earth and the Sun is zero.
