It is a general tendency that the direct tidal effect increases with orbit height. This can easily be verifiedby setting the satellites radius in Eq. 4.2-46 to zero which causes the third body attraction to vanish.The following table show the orbit errors due to neglecting lunar attraction for predictionperiods of one day and six hours.Page 48R.
