Scientific paper

The five outer planets are numerically integrated over five million years in the Newtonian frame. The results are in good agreement with secular perturbation theory, suggesting that the present configuration of the outer planets might be stable over the age of the solar system. The orbital change of Pluto, however, is large and irregular due to the close approach of Neptune. In order to study the evolution of Pluto's orbit into resonance with Neptune, the nonconservative mechanism must be taken into consideration at the early stage of the solar system.
