Error = 181.079 minus 180 = 1.079 degrees.

Example 14. During One Earth Year (ie:- During One Earth Orbital Period), Jupiter rotates 883 complete rotations plus A REMAINDER of TWO RIGHT ANGLES (error 1.18 degrees).
DEMONSTRATION:- Earth’s Orbital Period (ie:- The Earth Year) = 365.25636 Earth days
Jupiter’s rotation period = 0.41353831 Earth days.
365.25636 ÷ 0.41353831 = 883.24673 Jupiter rotations.
0.24673 x 360 = 88.82 degrees.
90 degrees = 1 right angle.
Error = 90 minus 88.82 = 1.18 degrees.

Example 15. During TWO Earth Years (ie:- During TWO Earth Orbital Periods), Binary Planet Pluto/Charon rotates 228 complete rotations plus A REMAINDER of THREE RIGHT ANGLES (error 3.01 degrees).
and also:-
During FOUR Earth Rotation Periods, Binary Planet Pluto/Charon rotates 1 complete rotation plus A REMAINDER of ONE RIGHT ANGLE (error 0.33 degrees).
DEMONSTRATION:- Earth’s Orbital Period (ie:- The Earth Year) = 365.25636 Earth days.
TWO Earth Orbital Periods = 365.25636 x 2 = 730.51272 Earth days.
Pluto/Charon is construed as being a “Binary” Planet, ie:- consisting of TWO bodies revolving round one another – Pluto and Charon.
Pluto’s Rotation Period = 6.387230 Earth days.
Charon’s Rotation Period = 6.387230 Earth days.
(730.51272 ÷ 6.387230) + (730.51272 ÷ 6.387230) = 228.741636 rotations.
0.741636 x 360 = 266.99 degrees.
270 degrees = 3 right angles.
Error = 270 minus 266.99 = 3.01 degrees.
and also:-
Earth’s Rotation Period = 0.997269663 Earth days.
4 Earth rotation periods = 0.997269663 x 4 = 3.989078652 Earth days.
(3.989078652 ÷ 6.387230) + (3.989078652 ÷ 6.387230) = 1.24908 rotations.
0.24908 x 360 = 89.67 degrees.
90 degrees = 1 right angle.
Error = 90 minus 89.67 = 0.33 degrees.

Example 16. During One Earth Year (ie:- During One Earth Orbital Period), Earth rotates 366 complete rotations plus
A REMAINDER of ONE RIGHT ANGLE (error 2.29 degrees).
DEMONSTRATION:- Earth’s Orbital Period (ie:- The Earth Year) = 365.25636 Earth days.
Earth’s Rotation Period = 0.997269663 Earth days.
365.25636 ÷ 0.997269663 = 366.25636 Earth rotations.
0.25636 x 360 = 92.29 degrees.
90 degrees = 1 right angle.
Error = 92.29 minus 90 = 2.29 degrees.

There are quite a few further examples that I could provide. However, they are more complex, and might only confuse the reader.
The single extra example that I cannot resist providing is Example 17, below. In this example, we are looking at FOUR Earth Rotation Periods, rather than the One or (at the most) Two Earth Rotation Periods that I have used throughout this book. Nevertheless, the relationship is so “beautiful” that I cannot resist including it.
Example 17. During FOUR Earth Rotation Periods, The Five Outer Solar System Planets rotate altogether a total of 11070.35031 degrees, which is equivalent to 30 complete rotations plus A REMAINDER of THREE RIGHT ANGLES (error 0.35 degrees).
DEMONSTRATION:- Earth’s Rotation Period = 0.997269663 Earth days.
FOUR Earth Rotation Periods = 0.997269663 x 4 = 3.989078652 Earth days.
Here are the names and rotation periods (expressed in Earth days) of The Five Outer Solar System Planets:- Jupiter 0.41353831 and Saturn 0.44401 and Uranus 0.71833 and Neptune 0.671252 and Pluto 6.387230
(3.989078652 ÷ 0.41353831) + (3.989078652 ÷ 0.44401) + (3.989078652 ÷ 0.71833) + (3.989078652 ÷ 0.671252) + (3.989078652 ÷ 6.387230) = 30.750973 rotations (which is equivalent to 30.750973 x 360 = 11070.35031 degrees).
0.750973 x 360 = 270.35 degrees.
270 degrees = 3 right angles.
Error = 270.35 minus 270 = 0.35 degrees.
