Apr 17, 2018 at 21:31 | comment | added | user4552 | Are you asking whether GR has a nonrelativistic limit that is the same as Newtonian gravity (yes), whether the calculation is easy (not too hard), how the calculation is done, or whether the resulting calculation is exact? | |
Apr 17, 2018 at 18:12 | comment | added | PM 2Ring | This idea isn't very practical because the solar system isn't a 2 body system, so the Newtonian perturbations caused by various other bodies in the system (notably the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter) are larger than the relativistic corrections. So to do this properly, you need to include those bodies. | |
