Abstract
The availability of accurate values of the coefficients J2, J4, … in the Earth's potential and radar determinations of the distances Earth-Moon and Earth-Venus provides relations among astronomical constants different in form from those used in previous efforts to construct a consistent system of astronomical constants. Some of the important relations have gained in simplicity.Keywords
