Distances to the Planets by His Grace Mayesa dasa Part One Sun Calculating the sun is done with the help of the number referred to in 5th Canto as the second axle. That number is 31,500,000 Vayu Purana tells us diameter of sun is 252,000,000 Diameter is twice radius therefore radius is 126,000,000 Twice radius times Pi or 3.141592654 is circumference therefore suns circumference is 791,681,348.7 But sun has fast, slow and moderate speed. Therefore sun moves further around us than 791,681,348.7 and less also. That number is 31,500,000 Here is the formula: 137,509,870.8 X 31,500,000 / ( 21600 / 2 / pI ) = 126,000,000 126,000,000 x 31,500,000 / ( 21600 / 2 / pI ) = 115,453,530 Theses are radiuses of the sun. For each multiply by 2 and by Pi to get circumferences. We learn that the Suns chariot is 28,800,000 That is suns travel in a Muhurta. There are 30 muhurtas in a day so Suns greatest travel is 864,000,000. The sun travels faster over greater distance around earth planet. Similarly the sun has a very slow path which is 725,415,924.2 We learn in Bhagavatam that there are 7 islands and 7 oceans below us ( not on this planet) When we calculate them and subtract the last ocean and half of Plaksa dvipa 5th Canto says sun is at middle path in the center of Manasottara mountain in the center of Plaksadvipa) we get sun at 126,000,000 radius as we should and as is confirmed by Vayu purana. Does sun continue upwards to lesser number? Yes 5th Canto mentions 760,800,000 which is beyond middle point. By mathematics we can understand then the path of the sun from 864,000,000 at 23.60928249 degrees south to 725,415,923.2 which is 23.60928249 degrees north. This movement of the sun causes seasons. Why? Because the sun is gathering water from our planet and other planets as well up to Dhruvaloka ( according to Matsya Purana) Then the sun having gathered water for six months expels water for six months. Modern scientists cannot fathom that the sun is expanding. When we view the Sun through a telescope it appears to be nothing but gasses. This is water boiling surrounding the sun. Scientists think the sun is nothing but gasses but we get information that the sun is having a civilization there. Krsna mentions speaking Bhagavad-Gita previously to the Sun-god. To understand the great distance to sun we divide 864,000,000 by 2 and by Pi and by cosine 23.60928249 which tells us that sun reaches to 150071147.4 miles away from us at greatest distance. Sukadeva thus reveals the suns motion to us in the Srimad Bhagavatam. Of course sun has more than three speeds as it gradually spirals up and down Sukadeva is not elaborating on the path of other planets but if we approach the 5th canto properly (if we know how mathematically) we will find not only the distances to the planets mentioned but to non-moving bodies as well.
