Scientific paper

Orbital characteristics of solar system bodies are reviewed with reference to their degree of circularity or eccentricity. Attention is given to orbital perturbations in the vicinity of Jupiter, Saturn, and the Asteroid Belt. The trapping of orbital periods is explained on the basis of relative velocity and gravitational interaction between particles. Enhancement of orbital eccentricity through resonance with other bodies is dampened by the drag-effect of small particles in the orbital path. This mechanism is seen operating in interactions between Titan and Hyperion, and between individual asteroids in the vicinity of Jupiter; with implications for the accretion dynamics of a proto-planetary nebula.
