This depends upon seven quantities , called the elements of the orbit ( N. 57 ) . These are , the length of the major axis , and the excentricity , which determine the form of the orbit ; the longitude of the planet when at its least ...

They depend upon the relative positions of the orbits alone , whose forms and places in space are altered by very minute quantities , in immense periods of time , and are therefore called secular inequalities .
