Scientific paper

Perturbation equations of celestial mechanics in application to solar electromagnetic radiation are investigated. Special attention is paid to nearly circular orbits. Results of Klacka and Kaufmannova (1992) are generalized and various initial semimajor axes are taken into account. Time-averaged (during one period) eccentricity decreases only during the first 25 percent of the total time of inspiralling toward the sun. The value 25 percent holds for all initial values of semimajor axes (initially circular orbits are supposed). The orbits become more and more eccentric in the subsequent orbital evolution.
