Einstein Gravitation Theory: Experimental Tests

Abstract

In order to test the Einstein gravitation theory (EGT) we compare their predictions with the measured results in the following phenomena: the perihelion advance of planets, deflection of light, radar echo delays around the Sun and an overall planetary motion in Solar System. In our calculation we have used the Schwarzschild metric that is defined in the surrounding vacuum of a spherically symmetric mass distribution, not in rotation. This article was written to graduate and postgraduate students of Physics.
