Timescales of Chaos in the Inner Solar System: Lyapunov Spectrum and Quasi-integrals of Motion
Numerical integrations of the Solar System reveal a remarkable stability of the orbits of the inner planets over billions of years, in spite of their chaotic variations characterized by a Lyapunov time of only 5 million years and the lack of integrals of motion able to constrain their dynamics. To o...
