Abstract
The positional determination of the major planets in our solar system has always been an important research area in astrometry and celestial mechanics for a long time. The purposes and current situation of measuring these planets are introduced. Difficulties of measurment of the outer planets (Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) with the high precision are also discussed.
