Solar System: Chaos, Solar System: Stability, Obliquity: Terrestrial Planets

Scientific paper

Until very recently, the Solar System was considered as the model of regularity. In fact, the numerical experiments conducted in the past few years reveal the contrary. The motion of the large planets is very close to quasiperiodic. Like their orbits, the orientation of the large planets is stable, but all the terrestrial planets probably experienced an extensive episode of chaotic behaviour for their obliquities during their history. Without the Moon, the tilt of the Earth would be highly unstable. The obliquity of Mars is chaotic and can vary between 0 and 60°. For such high values as 60°, recent studies show that the surface temperature of Mars in summer could be sufficiently high to allow the occurrence of liquid water.
