WHAT DOES MEAN ANOMALY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mean anomaly

In celestial mechanics, mean anomaly is a parameter relating position and time for a body moving in a Kepler orbit. It is based on the fact that equal areas are swept in equal intervals of time by a line joining the focus and the orbiting body. The mean anomaly increases uniformly from 0 to radians during each orbit. However, it is not an angle. Due to Kepler's second law, the mean anomaly is proportional to the area swept by the focus-to-body line since the last periapsis. The mean anomaly is usually denoted by the letter, and is given by the formula: where n is the mean motion, a is the length of the orbit's semi-major axis, and m are the orbiting masses, and G is the gravitational constant. The mean anomaly is the time since the last periapsis multiplied by the mean motion, and the mean motion is divided by the duration of a full orbit. The mean anomaly is one of three angular parameters that define a position along an orbit, the other two being the eccentric anomaly and the true anomaly.
