Abstract

The geometric analysis applied to the solutions obtained by M.L. Lidov [1] of the satellite version of a restricted circular double-averaged three-body problem allowed us fresh view at the comparative analysis of evolution periods for various elliptical orbits. Based on the similarity theory, the parameters of similitude are invoked for orbits and perturbations. An expression for the period of evolution of three orbit elements through the appropriate similitude parameters is derived. On this basis, a regularity is formulated, the consequences of which are analyzed.
