To simulate the orbit of Halley's comet using MATLAB, you can use the built-in functions and algorithms for orbital mechanics. Here's how you can do it:
main.m78 chars3 lines
main.m84 chars4 lines
main.m95 chars3 lines
main.m88 chars2 lines
main.m101 chars2 lines
main.m85 chars2 lines
main.m56 chars3 lines
main.m83 chars5 lines
By running the above code, you will get a plot showing the orbit of Halley's comet over the specified time span. Adjusting the time_span
and time_step
variables will allow you to simulate the orbit over a longer or shorter time period with finer or coarser resolution.
Note that this simulation assumes a simplified two-dimensional orbit and does not account for gravitational perturbations from other celestial bodies or relativistic effects.
I hope this helps you simulate the orbit of Halley's comet using MATLAB!
