= Epicyclic frequency
{wiki=Epicyclic_frequency}
Epicyclic frequency refers to a specific concept often encountered in celestial mechanics, orbital dynamics, and mechanics of rotating systems, particularly in the context of planetary motion and the orbits of celestial bodies. In a simplified sense, when a body orbits a primary body (like a planet orbiting the Sun), it can experience additional characteristics due to the gravitational influence of other bodies, as well as the rotation of the primary body itself.
