Abstract

Based on the energy approach, the energy characteristics of the gravitational interaction between a unit mass (EM), the Sun and planets are theoretically investigated. To study the characteristics of this interaction, the followingmodel was chosen: the Sun, Venus and Earth are "fixed" at the moment of the parade of planets and their centers are on the same straight line. In the gravitational field of these celestial bodies, the movement of a single mass from the surface of the Earth to the surface of Venus occurs along a rectilinear trajectory. This trajectory is passing through the centers of the Sun and planets. The gravitational potential of the Solar System has been investigated using computer calculations in the MathCAD PPP environment.
