ESTIMATION OF POST-NEWTONIAN APPROXIMATION OF GRAVITY THAT AFFECTS SATELLITES OF PLANET

The post-Newtonian approximation in general relativity will be used to estimate gravity for the jovian system and the comet shoemaker-Levy 9 that collided with Jupiter. We calculate and discuss the post-Newtonian corrections to the gravity of Jupiter and precessions of its satellites, which are compared with the Earth-Moon system.
