Time evolution of the interplanetary dust particle under the action of the solar electromagnetic radiation (Poynting-Robertson effect) is investigated. Evolution of the initially circular orbit in terms of the orbital elements present in the standard equations for their secular changes is considered

Grains orbiting a star experience orbital decay due to Poynting-Robertson drag and can become trapped in commensurability resonances with a planet. We examine conditions for trapping in the circular restricted three-body problem, and derive criteria for trapping in terms of the radiation pressure fa
Derivations of the Poynting-Robertson effect are presented. They are based on the corpuscular nature of light (unlike Robertson's 1937 derivation). It is justified why currently presented derivations are incorrect and why classical (nonrelativistic) physics is not able to understand this effect. Rel
