If radiation pressure is a pressure exerted upon any surface exposed to electromagnetic radiation then why do planets such as the ones in our solar system maintain consistent orbits? I'm guessing the pressure must be very slight but in the vacuum of space wouldn't even the slightest pressure effect the consistency of any planets orbit?
