Definition
When a planet comes within a certain degree of the Sun, it loses strength due to the solar rays overpowering it. This is called Aastangata or Combust. The orbs vary: Moon (12°), Mars (17°), Mercury (14° or 12° when retrograde), Jupiter (11°), Venus (10° or 8° retrograde), Saturn (15°). Combust planets are weakened.
