The effects of the gravitational attractions of the Sun and Moon on the orbital elements of an Earth satellite are investigated using Lagrange's planetary equations. Expressions are obtained for the change in the elements during one revolution of the satellite and for the rates of change of these elements. Corresponding expressions are obtained for the effects of solar radiation pressure, including the effect of the Earth's shadow.
