Don´t want to register myself, but the info in the text is wrong! Earth rotates prograde, so the hole physics change (momentum etc.). Even with right sources it is wrong! Shame! |

== Yarkovsky effect - Planetary bodies effected by sunlight == |
|||
Regardless of the planetary body creating a different spin due to side of sun relative to the mass, as the object heats up from the sun, would there not be a burn off of any ice or gasses on the mass? Realistically, this would cause the mass to lose weight and thus gain speed. On top of that, atoms move faster at higher temperatures, would this not be relative to a larger object? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/96.50.110.140|96.50.110.140]] ([[User talk:96.50.110.140|talk]]) 18:39, 28 May 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== The nationality of Yarkovskky == |
|||
Yarkovsky was born in Belorussia, near the town of Vitebsk. He studied in Saint Petersburg, spent all his life in Russia, had a successful career at the government service, and eventually became executive at a prominent factory in Saint Petersburg. He also was an active member of the Russian Scientific and Technical Society. |
|||
There may be a possibility that his roots were Polish, but I failed to find information on this on the internet. |
|||
When a Belorussian-born man spends his life in Russia and makes a career of a government official there, it is unwise to call him "Polish". |
