Radius of planetary orbits from number ====================================== The Titius—Bode rule is an empirical formula that roughly describes the distances between the planets of the Solar System and the Sun (the average radii of the orbits). **Notes:** #. This rule fails to predict the correct value of the Neptune's orbit radius. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia, third formula `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.astronomy.radius_of_planets_orbit_from_its_number .. py:data:: orbit_radius :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.classical_mechanics.radius` of the planet's orbit.
