Scientific paper

While long-term numerical integrations of the outer Solar System have become routine, the inner planets have received much less attention. The present work uses physical models of increasing complexity, which include General Relativistic and Earth-Moon tidal corrections. Even small modifications in the physical model can lead to changes in orbits over a few million years that are larger than what could be attributed to chaos. Comparisons between different physical models and also with previous results indicate that more integrations with accurate models are necessary to better constrain Earth's orbit for the past few tens of millions of years. Chaos in the inner Solar System has the largest effects on Mars, with clearly observable transitions between different types of dynamical behavior.
