You follow the math the same way a drunk walks on a straight line.

Thank you for your input, Eric.  What we do is use these two frames of
reference, S and S'.  S' is moving with a velocity of v relative to S
along the x axis.  You can tell what S' is doing by studying these
equations.
                 x'=x-vt
                 y'=y
                 z'=z
                 t'=t

Well, it can apply to a planet, but not exactly. The orbit of a
planet is a curved line instead of a straight one, but the same
principle applies.
