ThevariationofeccentricitiesandorbitalinclinationsfortheinnerfourplanetsintheinitialandfinalpartoftheintegrationN+1isshowninFig。4。Asexpected，thecharacterofthevariationofplanetaryorbitalelementsdoesnotdiffersignificantlybetweentheinitialandfinalpartofeachintegration，atleastforVenus，EarthandMars。TheelementsofMercury，especiallyitseccentricity，seemtochangetoasignificantextent。Thisispartlybecausetheorbitaltime-scaleoftheplanetistheshortestofalltheplanets，whichleadstoamorerapidorbitalevolutionthanotherplanets;theinnermostplanetmaybenearesttoinstability。ThisresultappearstobeinsomeagreementwithLaskars（1994，1996）expectationsthatlargeandirregularvariationsappearintheeccentricitiesandinclinationsofMercuryonatime-scaleofseveral109yr。However，theeffectofthepossibleinstabilityoftheorbitofMercurymaynotfatallyaffecttheglobalstabilityofthewholeplanetarysystemowingtothesmallmassofMercury。Wewillmentionbrieflythelong-termorbitalevolutionofMercurylaterinSection4usinglow-passfilteredorbitalelements。

Theorbitalmotionoftheouterfiveplanetsseemsrigorouslystableandquiteregularoverthistime-span（seealsoSection5）。

Togiveanoverviewofthelong-termchangeinperiodicityinplanetaryorbitalmotion，weperformedmanyfastFouriertransformations（FFTs）alongthetimeaxis，andsuperposedtheresultingperiodgramstodrawtwo-dimensionaltime–frequencymaps。Thespecificapproachtodrawingthesetime–frequencymapsinthispaperisverysimple–muchsimplerthanthewaveletanalysisorLaskars（1990，1993）frequencyanalysis。

Dividethelow-passfilteredorbitaldataintomanyfragmentsofthesamelength。Thelengthofeachdatasegmentshouldbeamultipleof2inordertoapplytheFFT。

Weperformthereplacement，andconnectallthegrey-scale（orcolour）chartsintoonegraphforeachintegration。Thehorizontalaxisofthesenewgraphsshouldbethetime，i。e。thestartingtimesofeachfragmentofdata（ti，wherei=1，…，n）。Theverticalaxisrepresentstheperiod（orfrequency）oftheoscillationoforbitalelements。

Comparingthevariationsofenergyandangularmomentumoftheinnerfourplanetsandallnineplanets，itisapparentthattheamplitudesofthoseoftheinnerplanetsaremuchsmallerthanthoseofallnineplanets:theamplitudesoftheouterfiveplanetsaremuchlargerthanthoseoftheinnerplanets。Thisdoesnotmeanthattheinnerterrestrialplanetarysubsystemismorestablethantheouterone:thisissimplyaresultoftherelativesmallnessofthemassesofthefourterrestrialplanetscomparedwiththoseoftheouterjovianplanets。Anotherthingwenoticeisthattheinnerplanetarysubsystemmaybecomeunstablemorerapidlythantheouteronebecauseofitsshorterorbitaltime-scales。Thiscanbeseeninthepanelsdenotedasinner4inFig。7wherethelonger-periodicandirregularoscillationsaremoreapparentthaninthepanelsdenotedastotal9。Actually，thefluctuationsintheinner4panelsaretoalargeextentasaresultoftheorbitalvariationoftheMercury。However，wecannotneglectthecontributionfromotherterrestrialplanets，aswewillseeinsubsequentsections。

5。1ResonancesintheNeptune–Plutosystem

Kinoshita&Nakai（1996）integratedtheouterfiveplanetaryorbitsover±5。5×109yr。TheyfoundthatfourmajorresonancesbetweenNeptuneandPlutoaremaintainedduringthewholeintegrationperiod，andthattheresonancesmaybethemaincausesofthestabilityoftheorbitofPluto。Themajorfourresonancesfoundinpreviousresearchareasfollows。Inthefollowingdescription，λdenotesthemeanlongitude，Ωisthelongitudeoftheascendingnodeand?isthelongitudeofperihelion。SubscriptsPandNdenotePlutoandNeptune。

MeanmotionresonancebetweenNeptuneandPluto（3:2）。Thecriticalargumentθ1=3λP?2λN??Plibratesaround180°withanamplitudeofabout80°andalibrationperiodofabout2×104yr。

TheargumentofperihelionofPlutoωP=θ2=?P?ΩPlibratesaround90°withaperiodofabout3。8×106yr。ThedominantperiodicvariationsoftheeccentricityandinclinationofPlutoaresynchronizedwiththelibrationofitsargumentofperihelion。ThisisanticipatedinthesecularperturbationtheoryconstructedbyKozai（1962）。

ThelongitudeofthenodeofPlutoreferredtothelongitudeofthenodeofNeptune，θ3=ΩP?ΩN，circulatesandtheperiodofthiscirculationisequaltotheperiodofθ2libration。Whenθ3becomeszero，i。e。thelongitudesofascendingnodesofNeptuneandPlutooverlap，theinclinationofPlutobecomesmaximum，theeccentricitybecomesminimumandtheargumentofperihelionbecomes90°。Whenθ3becomes180°，theinclinationofPlutobecomesminimum，theeccentricitybecomesmaximumandtheargumentofperihelionbecomes90°again。Williams&Benson（1971）anticipatedthistypeofresonance，laterconfirmedbyMilani，Nobili&Carpino（1989）。

Anargumentθ4=?P??N+3（ΩP?ΩN）libratesaround180°withalongperiod，～5。7×108yr。

Inournumericalintegrations，theresonances（i）–（iii）arewellmaintained，andvariationofthecriticalargumentsθ1，θ2，θ3remainsimilarduringthewholeintegrationperiod（Figs14–16）。However，thefourthresonance（iv）appearstobedifferent:thecriticalargumentθ4alternateslibrationandcirculationovera1010-yrtime-scale（Fig。17）。ThisisaninterestingfactthatKinoshita&Nakais（1995，1996）shorterintegrationswerenotabletodisclose。

6Discussion

Whatkindofdynamicalmechanismmaintainsthislong-termstabilityoftheplanetarysystem?Wecanimmediatelythinkoftwomajorfeaturesthatmayberesponsibleforthelong-termstability。First，thereseemtobenosignificantlower-orderresonances（meanmotionandsecular）betweenanypairamongthenineplanets。JupiterandSaturnareclosetoa5:2meanmotionresonance（thefamous‘greatinequality’），butnotjustintheresonancezone。Higher-orderresonancesmaycausethechaoticnatureoftheplanetarydynamicalmotion，buttheyarenotsostrongastodestroythestableplanetarymotionwithinthelifetimeoftherealSolarsystem。Thesecondfeature，whichwethinkismoreimportantforthelong-termstabilityofourplanetarysystem，isthedifferenceindynamicaldistancebetweenterrestrialandjovianplanetarysubsystems（Ito&Tanikawa1999，2001）。WhenwemeasureplanetaryseparationsbythemutualHillradii（R_），separationsamongterrestrialplanetsaregreaterthan26RH，whereasthoseamongjovianplanetsarelessthan14RH。Thisdifferenceisdirectlyrelatedtothedifferencebetweendynamicalfeaturesofterrestrialandjovianplanets。Terrestrialplanetshavesmallermasses，shorterorbitalperiodsandwiderdynamicalseparation。Theyarestronglyperturbedbyjovianplanetsthathavelargermasses，longerorbitalperiodsandnarrowerdynamicalseparation。Jovianplanetsarenotperturbedbyanyothermassivebodies。

Thepresentterrestrialplanetarysystemisstillbeingdisturbedbythemassivejovianplanets。However，thewideseparationandmutualinteractionamongtheterrestrialplanetsrendersthedisturbanceineffective;thedegreeofdisturbancebyjovianplanetsisO（eJ）（orderofmagnitudeoftheeccentricityofJupiter），sincethedisturbancecausedbyjovianplanetsisaforcedoscillationhavinganamplitudeofO（eJ）。Heighteningofeccentricity，forexampleO（eJ）～0。05，isfarfromsufficienttoprovokeinstabilityintheterrestrialplanetshavingsuchawideseparationas26RH。Thusweassumethatthepresentwidedynamicalseparationamongterrestrialplanets（>26RH）isprobablyoneofthemostsignificantconditionsformaintainingthestabilityoftheplanetarysystemovera109-yrtime-span。Ourdetailedanalysisoftherelationshipbetweendynamicaldistancebetweenplanetsandtheinstabilitytime-scaleofSolarsystemplanetarymotionisnowon-going。

AlthoughournumericalintegrationsspanthelifetimeoftheSolarsystem，thenumberofintegrationsisfarfromsufficienttofilltheinitialphasespace。Itisnecessarytoperformmoreandmorenumericalintegrationstoconfirmandexamineindetailthelong-termstabilityofourplanetarydynamics。
