The relativistic effect upon the precession of Mercury's perihelion is well-known, being nearly 43"/century. However, similar effects also exist among all of the planets and with different orbital elements. Using the numerical integration program of the planetary ephemeris, it is a straightforward process to determine these effects. The process is briefly described, and a table of the results is presented. The research in this paper was carried out by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
