Is the conclusion "yes we orbit where the Sun was 8 mins ago?"
I see it that the Sun is the leader, Mercury Orbits, x mins "behind" Venus x+y mins "behind" Earth orbits 8 mins "behind" and so on so that edge on we have a cone like progression orineted like a pie in the face (although in reality inclined at an angle).This is a view constructed in my mind I dont know that is the way it is but it would seem if G is no faster than C we have not alternative. Does anyone know if this is the way it is..should use all the gear and figure it out myself from observations.
