On the Gravitational Energy of Planet Mercury

Authors: R. Wayte

The Sun is travelling around the Solar System barycentre so that on average, orbiting Mercury is attracted to a position between the Sun's centre and the barycentre. This toroidal-Sun-effect generates a small quadrupole moment in the gravitational energy of Mercury, which cannot be reduced to zero by using heliocentric coordinates.
