Scientific paper

Using the Jeans problem and the Fermi problem of two bodies with variable masses, the influence of solar cometary mass loss on the orbit of comet SL 9 is discussed. It is shown that solar and cometary mass loss both will cause the secular and periodic terms in the semimajor axis a of comet SL9. The influence of solar mass loss on the orbit of comet SL9 is very small and it may be omitted. But the influence of mass loss of comet SL9 itself on its orbit is large and it may cause the secular variation in a to be about 104km every year.
