The mass is in orbit about the center of the Earth so the outward centrifugal force is balanced by the inward gravitational force; this is Kepler’s third law. If we measure the radius of the satellite orbit r and the orbital frequency ω s, we can estimate GM e. For example the satellite Geosat has

Solstice and Equinox (“Suntrack”) Season Model

solar-center.stanford.edu

Because of the Earth’s tilt and its orbit around the Sun, the Sun appears to rise and set in a slightly different direction each day. A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice each year as the Sun reaches its farthest north or south rising and setting points on the horizon.
