On the Spacing Pattern of Planets and Satellites
Abstract
We show that spacing patterns of planets and satellites in the solar system are formulatable in a single form. It is suggested that a possible explanation for the rule might be the orbital resonance effect, which has existed at an earlier epoch of the solar (planet) system. By extrapolating the formulated spacing patterns beyond the sun-Pluto distance, we find the sun-Planet X distance falls in a range (46 - 79) A.U..
