Good afternoon
I just have this little doubt: imagine the osculating orbit of Mars changing slowly in its elements along the centuries. The semi major axis changes, the period, etc.
Is the specific angular momentum allways equal in all the osculating orbits Mars has in those centuries? Or does it changes with the elements change? That is, if in a century the orbital semi major axis is 1.2 greater, will the specific angular momentum be the same as the previous?
Is it constant on one 2 bodies orbit even if the semi major axis increases?
Kind regards
