Analysis of how changes in the Sun's mass affect heliocentric distances in planetary orbits, suggesting critical insights for astrophysics.
Within the framework of the two-body problem with variable masses, the dependencies of the heliocentric distances of planets and its orbital elements on changes in the mass of the Sun are determined. Using the variability of the Sun’s mass as a perturbing factor, differential equations for orbital elements were numerically solved. The results obtained were applied to five planets of the Solar System.
