Resumen
In this work, we address the effects of a phenomenon known as Verlinde gravity. Here we show that its effect over the planets and the Moon in our Solar System is quite negligible. We find that the Verlinde gravity effects on the orbits of planets are at least 10 times smaller than the precision with which we can determine the Sun’s mass, and the one on the orbit of the Moon is about 100 times smaller than the precision with which we can determine the Earth’s mass. These results let us infer that statements in the literature that Verlinde gravity is ruled out by the observed motion of planets in our Solar System are not correct.
