We study the effect of the scattering of gravitational waves on planetary
motions, say the motion of the Moon around the Earth. Though this effect has a
negligible influence on dissipation, it dominates fluctuations and the
associated decoherence mechanism, due to the very high effective temperature of
the background of gravitational waves in our galactic environment.
