The scalar theory of gravitation is known to be in agreement with observed planetary motions if the Sun is assumed to be stationary with respect to the preferred coordinate systems of the theory. We now assume that the Sun is moving, and we find that, unless its speed is improbably small, there are observable effects on the planetary orbits. The difficulty can be overcome if one assumes that the Newtonian charts are determined by the distribution of matter.

An earlier, scalar theory of gravitation is assumed to be valid for a class of static gravitational fields. The theory is written in tensor form, and generalized to the case of an arbitrary gravitational field. The interaction between the field and its sources is discussed, and the linearized form of the field equations is derived. Some possible alternative field equations are considered which are compatible with the linearized Einstein equations.

The form of the space–time metric in a scalar theory of gravitation follows from the assumption that the potential is arbitrary to the extent of an additive constant. No field equations are needed. Expressions are found for the gravitational red shift, the perihelion motion of a planet, and the bending of light by the sun. From the observed values of these quantities one can determine the metric and the potential due to a gravitating mass.
