Sun is the centre of our solar system and 9 major planets and their moons revolve around our sun. Sun has a diameter of 1.3927 million km or 696,340 km radius.
According to hindu mythology (Sanatana Dharma) , Daksha Prajapati had 2 daughters, Aditi and Diti, who were both married to Rishi or sage Kashyapa.
Diti gave birth to both the Marutas and the Asuras (Daityas) with the sage Kashyapa and Aditi gave birth to the Surya (Sun) and other celestial bodies.
Surya's wife or consort's name was Sandhya. Sandhya had a sibiling named Chhaya who was a consort to Sun.
Once, when Sandhya couldn't handle the intensity of Surya, She held Chhaya in front of her as an offering to Him. during that time, Chhaya gave birth to 9 sons of Surya. One of those sons, is considered Shani dev or planet Saturn.
Surya is the mythological father of many notable sons, including Manu (progenitor of the human race), Yama (god of the dead), the Ashvins (twin physicians to the gods), Karna (a great warrior in the Mahabharata), and Sugriva (king of the monkeys in the Ramayana). The Puranas (collections of Hindu myths and legends) record that the weapons of the gods were forged from pieces trimmed from Surya, whose full emanation was too bright to bear. His power was conceived of as dispelling darkness, curing disease, and heating and illuminating the world.

and when Surya enters scorpio, saggitarius, capricorn,aquarius and pisces then each hour of the day goes on decreasing and hours of night keep increasing with each sign transit.
Scientifically, Sun is 93.472 million miles or 150 million km away from earth and 13 lakh times that of earth's size.

Vipareet can be defined as unfavourable circumstances, so this yoga is generally mysterious in nature and is usually a common yoga.
Vipareet raja yoga is a powerful yoga which forms when the house lord of 6th, 8th and 12th houses are either in thier own sign or exchange their sign placements.
if lord of 6th house is posited in of 6th, 8th or 12th house, then this combination results into vipareet Harsha raja yoga.
Now if, lord of 8th house is posited in of 6th, 8th or 12th house, then this combination results into vipareet Saral raja yoga.
And if, lord of 12th house is posited in of 6th, 8th or 12th house, then this combination results into vipareet Vimal raja yoga.
Now each vipareet raja yoga give more or less a similar effect in native's life and the terminology is used for us to differentiate better.
If 6th house lord, 8th house lord and 12th house lord are exchanging sign placements in any house {kendra or trikon} this is similar to a parivartan yoga but is defined as Vipareet raja yoga since it is happening through dusshtanna house lords.
The vipareet raja yoga usually only gives results in the time period or dashas of that planet and until then any noticeable effects of this raja yoga are difficult to manifest.
There's a pre-condition to this Yoga. Since vipareet can be translated to unfavourable circumstances, during the dasha of that planet, it usually manifests some unfavourable circumstances in your life. they could be related to anything from your health, professional life, personal life etc.(depends on the nature of planet) because this yoga can only benefit the native in unfavourable events and can only activate if these circumstances are present.
