Scientific paper

Account is taken of the resonances in the solar system to characterize the forces controlling the inclinations of planetary orbits with respect to one another without requiring a severe oblateness in the sun during planetary formation. The precessional motions of the poles of the planets and the sun are analyzed in rectangular coordinates and a system of linear, homogeneous, first-order differential equations is defined to satisfy the requirements of conservation of angular momentum in the solar system. A general solution is defined for the system of equations and is examined for varying degrees of solar oblateness, particularly those at which resonance occurs. The calculations show that the orbital inclinations of the planets could have been caused by a sun with an oblateness of 0.016 and a rotational velocity in the range 48-77 km/sec.
