  Revolution
A political revolution is the forcible replacement of one set of rulers with another (as happened in France and Russia), while a social revolution is the fundamental change in the social structure of a society; many would point to the Spanish Revolution, which occurred parallel to the Spanish Civil War, as an example of this.
A revolution is normally considered to be a relatively swift change: for example, in Spain, in 1936, anarchist and communist groups quickly took control of many areas on the first day of the Civil War (triggered by Franco's attempted coup).
Most anarchists concur with this view of revolution, and the communist view is similar; Cubans speak of "The Revolution" in the present tense, although the act of overthrowing the old Cuban government occurred decades ago.

  Global Warming Precession of the Equinox Orbital Variance Theory
The Orbital Variance Theory suggests that the actual length of a year varies (over the eons) by as much as 5 days (fluctuating 2.5 days on either side of the mean year) and that the variance is caused by the gradual expansion and contraction of the Earth's orbit over hundreds of millions of years.
The runner will complete one revolution of the track quicker if he or she runs on the inner edge of the track and, conversely, the length of time to complete one revolution of the track from the outer edge will be slightly longer.
The orbital fluctuations have no measurable effect on the (mean) length of a day and the Earth still rotates on her axis once every 24 hours, however, the Earth's gradually contracting orbit would trim some time off of the length of a year (one trip around the Sun).

 Space Future - Orbital Considerations in Kankoh-Maru Return Flight Operations
Of these factors, orbital considerations are the most fundamental since they determine the physical frequency of landing opportunities from a given orbiting hotel to a given landing site, the time taken from departure to landing for a given orbital hotel-landing site pair on each occasion, and other matters.
The viewpoint of a commercial operator planning orbital passenger flights is different from that of a government space agency performing a research mission; in particular they will generally be trying to maintain or increase their profitability, which leads to a continuous interest in both increasing revenues and reducing costs.
The fundamental orbital property that is used to achieve correct phasing for landing at a selected site is that lower orbits have shorter periods: For instance, an orbit at 350 km altitude has a period of 91.5 minutes, whereas one at 150 km has a period some 4 minutes shorter.

That summer proved to be the pinnacle of Orbital's performance ascent; an appearance at Woodstock 2 and a headlining spot at the Glastonbury Festival (both to rave reviews) confirmed the duo's status as one of the premier live acts in the field of popular music, period.

 Space Future - Orbital Considerations in Kankoh-Maru Rendezvous Operations
Of these factors, orbital considerations are the most fundamental since they determine the frequency of launch opportunities to reach a given hotel from a given airport, the time taken to rendezvous and dock with the hotel, and the quantity of propellant required for a given payload.
It is a fundamental property of orbital mechanics (5, 6) that the plane of the hotel's orbit is fixed (to a first approximation) relative to the distant stars (that is, it is "inertially" fixed).
The fundamental orbital property that is used to achieve correct phasing for rendezvous is that lower orbits have shorter periods: for instance, a 300 km orbit has a period of 90.5 min, whereas one at 250 km has a period 1 min shorter.

 Paradoxes Resolved, Origins Illuminated - An analysis of galaxial forms and motions.
I personally view orbital systems from a perspective in which the central bodies net gravitational effect on it’s orbitals is to both attract and also to push orbiting bodies along in their orbits.
Then the reason the orbital motion is slower in the vicinity of the second focus is that it provides none of the orbital push that the central body does.
At an orbital, such as the planet earth, there is then an excess of gravitons to the right of the planet pushing it in its orbit and also causing it’s rotation.

The runner will complete one revolution of the track quicker if he or she runs on the inner edge of the track and, conversely, the length of time to complete one revolution of the track from the outer edge will be slightly longer.
The orbital fluctuations have a minuscule measurable effect on the (mean) length of a day and the Earth still rotates on her axis once every 24 hours, however, the Earth's gradually contracting orbit would trim some time off of the length of a year (one trip around the Sun).
In the year 1900 the length of a year was measured at 31,556,926 seconds long and the length of a year has been gradually ("microscopically") decreasing since, and as a result, the globe has been warming up as she slowly moves closer to the Sun as her orbit shrinks.

The center of revolution of this motion of the earth and moon around their common center-of-mass lies at a point approximately 1,068 miles beneath the earth's surface, on the side toward the moon, and along a line connecting the individual centers-of-mass of the earth and moon.
Thus, in figure 1, the magnitude of the centrifugal force produced by the revolution of the earth and moon around their common center-of-mass (G) is the same at point A or B or at any other point on or beneath the earth's surface.
Since the individual centers-of-mass of the earth and moon remain in equilibrium at constant distances from the barycenter, the centrifugal force acting upon the center of the earth (C) as the result of their common revolutions must be equal and opposite to the gravitational force exerted by the moon on the center of the earth.

 Revolution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Social and political revolutions can both be characterised by violence, and the vast changes in power structures that result can often result in further, institutionalised, violence, as in the Russian and French revolutions (with the "Purges" and "the Terror", respectively).
A political revolution is the forcible replacement of one set of rulers with another (as happened in France and Russia), while a social revolution is the fundamental change in the social structure of a society; many would point to the Spanish Revolution, which occurred parallel to the Spanish Civil War, as an example of this.

 Orbital Mechanics
Inclination is the angular distance between a satellite's orbital plane and the equator of its primary (or the ecliptic plane in the case of heliocentric, or sun centered, orbits).
The orbital elements discussed at the beginning of this section provide an excellent reference for describing orbits, however there are other forces acting on a satellite that perturb it away from the nominal orbit.
Orbital transfer becomes more complicated when the object is to rendezvous with or intercept another object in space: both the interceptor and the target must arrive at the rendezvous point at the same time.

As a result of the separation impulse the orbital period of MAGION s/c has been diminished by approximately 53 s with respect to the orbital period of the main s/c.
The thrust of jets for the orbital maneuvering goes along construction axis Z which in standard situation is to be main inertia axis and consequently the spin axis.
From these figures one can see that after orbital maneuver the periods of the main s/c and MAGION have become approximately equal: according to Fig.1 MAGION is ahead of the main s/c by 43 minutes and Fig.2 shows the same value after one orbit.

Moreover, the two pairs of cutters properly open or close the passage in the center areas of the orbital revolution movement in good timing, whereon the proper cutting of food material is performed smoothly just before coming into the passage.
Even if the cutters make their self rotation and orbital revolution at high speed, it does not cause any scatter of food material at all, and therefore high speed production is also available by this invention.

The center of revolution of this motion of the earth and moon around their common center-of-mass lies at a point approximately 1,068 miles beneath the earth's surface, on the side toward the moon, and along a line connecting the individual centers-of-mass of the earth and moon (see G, Figure 1).
It is this little known aspect of the moon's orbital motion which is responsible for one of the two force components creating the tides.
In similar fashion, the moon, in making a revolution around the earth once each month, passes from a position of maximum angular distance north of the equator to a position of maximum angular distance south of the equator during each half month.
