Abstract

The evolution of the planetary orbits of the Solar System is studied as part of a planetary problem. The displacement of the orbital elements is found by the numerical integration of the equations of perturbed motion written in non-degenerate variables. The results are presented as tables for the average displacements of the orbital elements and their oscillatory components for the epoch J2000, as well as graphs of the behavior of the orbital elements as functions of time.
