ThevariationofeccentricitiesandorbitalinclinationsfortheinnerfourplanetsintheinitialandfinalpartoftheintegrationN+1isshowninFig.4.Asexpected，thecharacterofthevariationofplanetaryorbitalelementsdoesnotdiffersignificantlybetweentheinitialandfinalpartofeachintegration，atleastforVenus，EarthandMars.TheelementsofMercury，especiallyitseccentricity，seemtochangetoasignificantextent.Thisispartlybecausetheorbitaltime-scaleoftheplanetistheshortestofalltheplanets，whichleadstoamorerapidorbitalevolutionthanotherplanets;theinnermostplanetmaybenearesttoinstability.ThisresultappearstobeinsomeagreementwithLaskars（1994，1996）expectationsthatlargeandirregularvariationsappearintheeccentricitiesandinclinationsofMercuryonatime-scaleofseveral109yr.However，theeffectofthepossibleinstabilityoftheorbitofMercurymaynotfatallyaffecttheglobalstabilityofthewholeplanetarysystemowingtothesmallmassofMercury.Wewillmentionbrieflythelong-termorbitalevolutionofMercurylaterinSection4usinglow-passfilteredorbitalelements.

Theorbitalmotionoftheouterfiveplanetsseemsrigorouslystableandquiteregularoverthistime-span（seealsoSection5）.

Togiveanoverviewofthelong-termchangeinperiodicityinplanetaryorbitalmotion，weperformedmanyfastFouriertransformations（FFTs）alongthetimeaxis，andsuperposedtheresultingperiodgramstodrawtwo-dimensionaltime–frequencymaps.Thespecificapproachtodrawingthesetime–frequencymapsinthispaperisverysimple–muchsimplerthanthewaveletanalysisorLaskars（1990，1993）frequencyanalysis.

Dividethelow-passfilteredorbitaldataintomanyfragmentsofthesamelength.Thelengthofeachdatasegmentshouldbeamultipleof2inordertoapplytheFFT.

Eachfragmentofthedatahasalargeoverlappingpart:forexample，whentheithdatabeginsfromt=tiandendsatt=ti+T，thenextdatasegmentrangesfromti+δT≤ti+δT+T，whereδT?T.WecontinuethisdivisionuntilwereachacertainnumberNbywhichtn+Treachesthetotalintegrationlength.

WeapplyanFFTtoeachofthedatafragments，andobtainnfrequencydiagrams.

Ineachfrequencydiagramobtainedabove，thestrengthofperiodicitycanbereplacedbyagrey-scale（orcolour）chart.

Weperformthereplacement，andconnectallthegrey-scale（orcolour）chartsintoonegraphforeachintegration.Thehorizontalaxisofthesenewgraphsshouldbethetime，i.e.thestartingtimesofeachfragmentofdata（ti，wherei=1，…，n）.Theverticalaxisrepresentstheperiod（orfrequency）oftheoscillationoforbitalelements.

InFig.7，thetotalorbitalenergyandangularmomentumofthefourinnerplanetsandallnineplanetsareshownforintegrationN+2.Theupperthreepanelsshowthelong-periodicvariationoftotalenergy（denotedasE-E0），totalangularmomentum（G-G0），andtheverticalcomponent（H-H0）oftheinnerfourplanetscalculatedfromthelow-passfilteredDelaunayelements.E0，G0，H0denotetheinitialvaluesofeachquantity.Theabsolutedifferencefromtheinitialvaluesisplottedinthepanels.ThelowerthreepanelsineachfigureshowE-E0，G-G0andH-H0ofthetotalofnineplanets.Thefluctuationshowninthelowerpanelsisvirtuallyentirelyaresultofthemassivejovianplanets.

Comparingthevariationsofenergyandangularmomentumoftheinnerfourplanetsandallnineplanets，itisapparentthattheamplitudesofthoseoftheinnerplanetsaremuchsmallerthanthoseofallnineplanets:theamplitudesoftheouterfiveplanetsaremuchlargerthanthoseoftheinnerplanets.Thisdoesnotmeanthattheinnerterrestrialplanetarysubsystemismorestablethantheouterone:thisissimplyaresultoftherelativesmallnessofthemassesofthefourterrestrialplanetscomparedwiththoseoftheouterjovianplanets.Anotherthingwenoticeisthattheinnerplanetarysubsystemmaybecomeunstablemorerapidlythantheouteronebecauseofitsshorterorbitaltime-scales.Thiscanbeseeninthepanelsdenotedasinner4inFig.7wherethelonger-periodicandirregularoscillationsaremoreapparentthaninthepanelsdenotedastotal9.Actually，thefluctuationsintheinner4panelsaretoalargeextentasaresultoftheorbitalvariationoftheMercury.However，wecannotneglectthecontributionfromotherterrestrialplanets，aswewillseeinsubsequentsections.

5.1ResonancesintheNeptune–Plutosystem

Kinoshita&Nakai（1996）integratedtheouterfiveplanetaryorbitsover±5.5×109yr.TheyfoundthatfourmajorresonancesbetweenNeptuneandPlutoaremaintainedduringthewholeintegrationperiod，andthattheresonancesmaybethemaincausesofthestabilityoftheorbitofPluto.Themajorfourresonancesfoundinpreviousresearchareasfollows.Inthefollowingdescription，λdenotesthemeanlongitude，Ωisthelongitudeoftheascendingnodeand?isthelongitudeofperihelion.SubscriptsPandNdenotePlutoandNeptune.

MeanmotionresonancebetweenNeptuneandPluto（3:2）.Thecriticalargumentθ1=3λP?2λN??Plibratesaround180°withanamplitudeofabout80°andalibrationperiodofabout2×104yr.

TheargumentofperihelionofPlutoωP=θ2=?P?ΩPlibratesaround90°withaperiodofabout3.8×106yr.ThedominantperiodicvariationsoftheeccentricityandinclinationofPlutoaresynchronizedwiththelibrationofitsargumentofperihelion.ThisisanticipatedinthesecularperturbationtheoryconstructedbyKozai（1962）.

ThelongitudeofthenodeofPlutoreferredtothelongitudeofthenodeofNeptune，θ3=ΩP?ΩN，circulatesandtheperiodofthiscirculationisequaltotheperiodofθ2libration.Whenθ3becomeszero，i.e.thelongitudesofascendingnodesofNeptuneandPlutooverlap，theinclinationofPlutobecomesmaximum，theeccentricitybecomesminimumandtheargumentofperihelionbecomes90°.Whenθ3becomes180°，theinclinationofPlutobecomesminimum，theeccentricitybecomesmaximumandtheargumentofperihelionbecomes90°again.Williams&Benson（1971）anticipatedthistypeofresonance，laterconfirmedbyMilani，Nobili&Carpino（1989）.

Anargumentθ4=?P??N+3（ΩP?ΩN）libratesaround180°withalongperiod，～5.7×108yr.

Inournumericalintegrations，theresonances（i）–（iii）arewellmaintained，andvariationofthecriticalargumentsθ1，θ2，θ3remainsimilarduringthewholeintegrationperiod（Figs14–16）.However，thefourthresonance（iv）appearstobedifferent:thecriticalargumentθ4alternateslibrationandcirculationovera1010-yrtime-scale（Fig.17）.ThisisaninterestingfactthatKinoshita&Nakais（1995，1996）shorterintegrationswerenotabletodisclose.

6Discussion

Whatkindofdynamicalmechanismmaintainsthislong-termstabilityoftheplanetarysystem?Wecanimmediatelythinkoftwomajorfeaturesthatmayberesponsibleforthelong-termstability.First，thereseemtobenosignificantlower-orderresonances（meanmotionandsecular）betweenanypairamongthenineplanets.JupiterandSaturnareclosetoa5:2meanmotionresonance（thefamous‘greatinequality’），butnotjustintheresonancezone.Higher-orderresonancesmaycausethechaoticnatureoftheplanetarydynamicalmotion，buttheyarenotsostrongastodestroythestableplanetarymotionwithinthelifetimeoftherealSolarsystem.Thesecondfeature，whichwethinkismoreimportantforthelong-termstabilityofourplanetarysystem，isthedifferenceindynamicaldistancebetweenterrestrialandjovianplanetarysubsystems（Ito&Tanikawa1999，2001）.WhenwemeasureplanetaryseparationsbythemutualHillradii（R_），separationsamongterrestrialplanetsaregreaterthan26RH，whereasthoseamongjovianplanetsarelessthan14RH.Thisdifferenceisdirectlyrelatedtothedifferencebetweendynamicalfeaturesofterrestrialandjovianplanets.Terrestrialplanetshavesmallermasses，shorterorbitalperiodsandwiderdynamicalseparation.Theyarestronglyperturbedbyjovianplanetsthathavelargermasses，longerorbitalperiodsandnarrowerdynamicalseparation.Jovianplanetsarenotperturbedbyanyothermassivebodies.

Thepresentterrestrialplanetarysystemisstillbeingdisturbedbythemassivejovianplanets.However，thewideseparationandmutualinteractionamongtheterrestrialplanetsrendersthedisturbanceineffective;thedegreeofdisturbancebyjovianplanetsisO（eJ）（orderofmagnitudeoftheeccentricityofJupiter），sincethedisturbancecausedbyjovianplanetsisaforcedoscillationhavinganamplitudeofO（eJ）.Heighteningofeccentricity，forexampleO（eJ）～0.05，isfarfromsufficienttoprovokeinstabilityintheterrestrialplanetshavingsuchawideseparationas26RH.Thusweassumethatthepresentwidedynamicalseparationamongterrestrialplanets（>26RH）isprobablyoneofthemostsignificantconditionsformaintainingthestabilityoftheplanetarysystemovera109-yrtime-span.Ourdetailedanalysisoftherelationshipbetweendynamicaldistancebetweenplanetsandtheinstabilitytime-scaleofSolarsystemplanetarymotionisnowon-going.

AlthoughournumericalintegrationsspanthelifetimeoftheSolarsystem，thenumberofintegrationsisfarfromsufficienttofilltheinitialphasespace.Itisnecessarytoperformmoreandmorenumericalintegrationstoconfirmandexamineindetailthelong-termstabilityofourplanetarydynamics.
