1: Toward the central body
2: Perpendicular to that
3: Toward the local center of curvature
4: Perpendicular to that
I feel like people call both 1 and 3 centripetal/radial, but obviously they're different. One can cause speed changes and the other can't! #ITeachPhysics #AstroEdu

After a good #ITeachPhysics conversation a few weeks ago about "radial" and "centripetal" I have a new question... I'm doing orbits for the next few days.
When you are dealing with elliptical orbits (NOT circular) what names do you use for the following directions...

The most satisfying thing about teaching so far this semester has been seeing how students have responded to difficult but interesting problem sets! #astroedu
I've had them using real data from surveys like Gaia, and they've done so well! I think working with real data makes it a lot more fun
