The 18 pages that link to Mercury's perihelion precession, each with the reason it gives.

• General relativityRelated: Einstein’s equations accounted for the long-standing discrepancy in Mercury’s orbit.

• GravityBroader topic: Its anomalous motion became a key test of Einstein’s theory.

• Newtonian gravityBroader topic: The unexplained excess precession provided a precise test that favored general relativity.

• Schwarzschild metricRelated: The Schwarzschild geometry accounts for the relativistic part of Mercury's orbital precession.

• Gravitational perturbationRelated: Planetary perturbations explain most of the precession, while the remaining discrepancy tested gravity theories.

• Orbital perturbationBroader topic: Its unexplained Newtonian residual became a successful test of general relativity.

• MercuryBroader topic: Mercury’s measured precession provided a prominent test of general relativity.

• GravitationBroader topic: Its anomalous advance became a classic test of general relativity.

• Duhem–Quine thesisRelated: The anomaly prompted competing changes to auxiliary assumptions before general relativity explained it.

• Orbital precessionBroader topic: It is the classic measured case of apsidal precession.

• Ad hoc hypothesisRelated: Attempts to explain its excess precession with an unseen planet show the risks of patching a theory.

• Tests of general relativityBroader topic: Einstein’s theory accounts for the roughly 43 arcseconds per century left unexplained by Newtonian gravity.

• Theory of relativityRelated: The unexplained part of Mercury's orbit became an early test of Einstein's theory.

• Curved spacetimeBroader topic: Its unexplained orbital advance provided an early test of curved-spacetime gravity.

• History of general relativityRelated: General relativity accounted for the residual advance that had resisted a Newtonian explanation.

• Geodesics in general relativityRelated: Its unexplained orbital shift is accounted for by Schwarzschild geodesic motion.

• Newton's theorem of revolving orbitsBroader topic: It is a prominent observed case of apsidal motion, though not explained by Newton's theorem alone.

• RelativityRelated: General relativity accounts for the excess precession unexplained by Newtonian gravity.
