We study the effects arising from relativistic perturbations on the motion of asteroids and comets and show that for a number of such objects, inclusion of relativistic contributions in the equations of motion gives rise to significant improvements in the orbital solutions. Furthermore we argue that ignoring relativistic corrections to the equations of motion, while using masses derived from relativistic ephemerides yields incorrect solutions corresponding to an inconsistent, non-Newtonian, nonrelativistic model.
