Stability of the Solar System
text:
The stability of the Solar System is a subject of much inquiry in astronomy. Though the planets have historically been stable as observed, and will be in the "short" term, their weak gravitational effects on one another can add up in ways that are not predictable by any simple means. For this reason, the Solar System is chaotic in the technical sense defined by mathematical chaos theory,
and that chaotic behavior degrades even the most precise long-term numerical or analytic models for the orbit
