Kepler's 2nd Law - page 2 Rotational Periods for the Planets
Click Here for My web pages on Bode's Law
I consider using the same technique for deciding the planet's rotational periods and the system works with one exception.
See figure "Kepler's Law Extended 3".
I consider Mars and Earth as two planets most likely to swap planetary orbits as they are very similar. Thus I would not expect Jupiter and Saturn to swap orbits as frequently.
Having said that, I expect that, Mars and Earth take millions of years to swap orbits. I have also seen that this first approach depends on going clockwise around the ellipse (see page 3)
I discovered an interesting image of the Inner and Outer solar system at:
http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~malkan/astro8/kepler2.html
If You look at the ellipse Mercury and Pluto are next to each other and Jupiter is nearly oposite (where the Inner and Outer solar systems me).
PREDICTION:
Although these changes in orbit and rotational period are extremely small but IF we can measure them for the Earth and Mars then we should see this trend I describe. Furthermore a prediction about the next swapping date may become clearer.
