Default Calculating the EXACT mass of the sun

Calculating the EXACT mass of the sun

The relationship r*v^2 determines the mass of the sun by the distance of a planet from the sun (r in m) and the square of its speed (v in m/sec) exactly if the known velocity is adjusted for eccentric orbits. The adjusted velocities for nine planets are shown in the following table. All produce the standard value of GM with a deviation of 0.000000000000000000%. GM (1.327158270.E+20) is calculated from the Codata values G = 6.674E-11 and M = 1..988550E+30.
