Undergrad Do planets wave in their orbits?
Do planets "wave" in their orbits? Hi, I was wondering if a planet moves up and down as they orbit the Sun due to the differing inclinations of the other planets? In other words do the planets move in a wave like motion in their orbits or is it smooth? Thanks in advance.- Kev2013

Graduate Nodal Precession Rates of Solar System Planets
Good Day Everyone, I am trying to find out the rates at which the inclinations of the Solar System's planets change. E.g. Earth's inclination to the invariable plane cycles every 70,000 years. I believe its called the Draconitic Period or Nodal Precession Period. I'm trying to find out...- Kev2013
