In this article, the revolutionary gravitational scalar potential obtained from our previous research “The Revolutionary Dynamical Theory of Gravitation” is applied to the famous Lagrangian equation of motion. This yields modifications to the Newton’s dynamical gravitational equations of motion. The modified dynamical gravitational equations of motion are then applied to the motion of planets in the equatorial plane to obtain a modified planetary equation of motion. The outcomes indicate that, the modified equations of motion and planetary equations of motion are improved with additional expressions of order , which are not establish in the existing Isaac Newton’s gravitational equations of motion and planetary equations of motion. As a consequence of the additional terms, the modified gravitational planetary equations of motion were able to resolve the problems associated with the anomalous orbital precession of the planets and the gravitational deflection of starlight, with similar results obtained by the existing Einstein’s general theory of relativity for a static homogeneous spherical distribution of mass.
