Respected Sunildevaru: Regarding Rahu and Kethu..

[Guest guest]

|| Sri Ramajayam ||

 

Respected Sunildevaru,

 

Namaste!

 

The following I guess will clear your doubts on Rahu

and Kethu:

 

Rahu and Kethu are mathematical points in the sky.

They are astronomically, the ascending and descending

nodes of Moon respectively.

 

Moon's orbit around Earth is inclined at around 5

degrees to the Ecliptic (Apparent path traced by Sun

as viewed from Earth). There are two points at which

these two orbits appear to intersect apparently. These

are the nodes.

 

Rahu (Ascending node) is the point in Moon's orbit at

which, Moon crosses the ecliptic and goes northwards

with respect to Earth's north pole and Kethu is the

point at which Moon goes southwards.

 

For an eclipse to occur, Sun, Moon, Earth and the

nodes must be collinear.

 

Regards,

Vijayanand.
