It can be useful to model more complicated systems as perturbed Kepler orbits, but those perturbations quickly get complicated if you want accurate results. I have some info on lunar motion here: astronomy.stackexchange.com/a/55112/16685 Eg, the Moon's mean inclination is ~5.14°, but its actual inclination varies by ~0.16° in a rather complex way.

| Jun 13 at 20:15 | comment | added | Darth Pseudonym | I mean, it's trivial that comets can and do change their inclination by interacting with planets, especially Jupiter, but I don't know what you mean about a named parameter. | |
| Jun 13 at 18:29 | comment | added | Miss Understands | I asked because it's not in any set of orbital elements I've seen (except maybe kozi oscillations). Since it involves gravitational interaction, not with another particle but an extended surface, that probably explains its absence. Still, the rate at which an orbit is pulled to the mean orbit has some numeric value.The evolution of rings depends on it. The thickness of the galaxy depends on it. I was just asking if this parameter is named. Apparently not. | |

| Jun 13 at 16:05 | comment | added | John Doty | A Google search for "evolution of orbital inclination" yields many results. It's complicated... | |
