The Generalized Bode's Law

Authors: Rodolfo A. Frino

This paper introduces a generalized Bode's Law. This law predicts the mean distances of all the planets (including the asteroid/dwarf planet Ceres) from the sun with a maximum relative error of, approximately 16% corresponding to Mars. For the rest of the planets the error is, approximately, 10 % or less. Thus, the new formula eliminates the inaccuracies of the original Law with respect to Neptune and Pluto. The formula also works extremely well for Mercury with n = -1, eliminating the need of using arbitrary numbers such as n = -∞. The generalized formula is suitable to predict the existence of undetected exoplanets.
