Celestial forces are the physical forces and influences that enforce or govern the motion and interaction of celestial bodies, with gravitational force being the most significant. Other forces, like radiation pressure, atmospheric drag on satellites, and electromagnetic forces, also play a role, especially for smaller or charged objects. In a non-physical context, the term can refer to mythical or divine entities, as seen in Hindu texts or science fiction.
Physical celestial forces
Gravity: The primary force governing the orbits of planets, stars, and other celestial objects. It is the mutual gravitational attraction between masses that keeps them in motion.
Radiation pressure: The force exerted by photons on a celestial body. This can push smaller particles, like dust, away from a star.
Atmospheric drag: The force that slows down artificial satellites as they pass through a planet's atmosphere.
Electromagnetic forces: These forces can affect charged particles in space, such as those found in solar wind or dust, especially when they are in a magnetic field.
Other interpretations
Mythological and religious: In some traditions, "celestial forces" can refer to divine armies or celestial beings. For example, in Hindu Puranas, it can refer to the army of deities led by Kartikeya, while in some interpretations of the Quran, it refers to angels.
Science fiction: In the Star Wars universe, "Celestial" is a designation for powerful, ancient beings who existed before the Jedi and the Sith and influenced the balance of the Force.
The term "celestial forces" primarily refers to the physical forces, such as gravity, that govern the motion and interaction of objects in outer space. It can also have cultural, spiritual, or fictional meanings.
In Science (Celestial Mechanics)
The study of these forces is called celestial mechanics, a branch of astronomy that uses classical mechanics to describe the motions of celestial bodies.
Gravity: This is the most significant force in space, responsible for keeping planets in orbit around stars, moons in orbit around planets, and holding entire galaxies together. Isaac Newton was the first to propose that the same laws of gravity that operate on Earth also apply to celestial bodies.
Tidal Forces: Gravitational interactions, especially between the Earth and the Moon, create tidal forces that cause ocean tides and even subtle deformation of the Earth's crust.
Other Forces: While gravity dominates, other forces can be significant in specific contexts, such as:
Atmospheric drag on artificial satellites.
Radiation pressure on dust particles.
Electromagnetic forces on charged particles moving in magnetic fields.
In Culture, Spirituality, and Fiction
The term "celestial forces" is also used in non-scientific contexts:
Spiritual and Mythological: It can refer to divine entities, angels, or "good forces" in a spiritual or religious context. In Hindu mythology, "celestial forces" can denote the divine armies of the gods in the battle between good and evil.
Astrology: In astrology, "celestial forces" relate to the interpretive influence of planetary alignments and cosmic energies on human life and events.
Fictional Universes: In popular fiction, such as Marvel Comics or Star Wars, the Celestials are depicted as ancient, incredibly powerful cosmic beings or entities in the Force with the power to manipulate matter, energy, and evolution on a universal scale.
