Electromagnetic theory of solar system

Abstract-
There is an attraction between the sun and earth and sun and other planet.
The origin of that attraction force is electromagnetic force. Due to that attraction force
there is a centrifugal force of earth. In the solar system there is some similarity between
the solar system and the nucleus. Both have positive charge and a neutral charge in the
form of protons, neutrons and sun and earth.
Index term-
Similarity between earth and neutron
Magnetic moment
Magnetic moment of earth
Magnetic moment of sun
Electromagnetic force between sun and earth
Nomenclature-
Magnetic moment-The magnetic moment of a magnet is a quantity that determines
the force that the magnet can exert on electric currents and the torque that a magnetic field will
exert on it. A loop of electric current, a bar magnet, an electron, a molecule, and a planet all
have magnetic moments.

Introduction-
In the nucleus there are protons and neutrons. Protons are positive charge while the
neutrons are being neutral. Neutrons being charge less but it also has some intrinsic
magnetic moment due to its motion in the nucleus and rotation about its own axis. Same
things happen in the case of solar system. Solar system contains sun and planets. Sun
is highly positively charge body while the other planet is neutral such as EARTH. Earth
also has some magnetic moment as neutron has.
In case of solar system sun is act as proton and the other planets acts as neutrons. In
nucleus proton and neutron are bound together, same things happen in the case of sun
and planets. There is a great similarity between earth and neutron .both are neutral and
moving continuously and rotating about their own axis. Both have magnetic moments.
In the nucleus we use a term parity to define the nuclear force inside the nucleus.
According to it proton attracts a neutron and neutron repulsive neutron. So neutron is
neutral but according to their magnetic moment it shows some attraction and repulsion.
Same case applies in the case of solar system sun is positive charge body and earth is
neutral body but having a magnetic moment. hence both perform as magnet and attract
each other but sun is very large comparable to earth hence earth is moving while sun is
stable.
Numerically it can be proved that the force between the sun
and earth due to magnetic moment not for caused by gravitation force.

As we know that sun positive charge in which light atoms and some
heavy atom are found due to the neucleosynthesis of small atoms such as hydrogen
and helium. Hence this total mass contains basically protons and neutrons .neutron
being neutral all charge the sun have is due to its protons. If we assume that fraction of
proton mass in the mass of sun is about 0.95x10

As mentioned earlier that earth and sun have magnetic moment. The force between
those magnetic moment would be at attractive because sun is the positive and earth
considers as neutral same as the concept of nucleus.

From the above data and calculations it is proved that the force between the sun and
the earth is due to the electromagnetic effect. There is no existence of gravitational
force between the sun and earth or in other planets and if their then gravitational force is
another form of electromagnetic force. It is electromagnetic force which is the reason of
attractive force between sun and earth which cause centrifugal or elliptical motion of
planets. All the planets have some magnetic moments because of that they are bound
to sun and form solar system.
In this description we use electromagnetism and nuclear force to define the force
between earth and the sun.

Acknowledgment-
The reason behind the mystery of existence of solar system is considered due to the
gravitational force but according to me It is caused by the ELECTROMAGNETIC
EFFECT between sun and planets. I would like to thank my parents, friends and my
teachers who inspire me to think something new.
