Difference of the mean anomalies of two starting orbits of a minor planet or a comet which only differ by an error of calculating of one of the orbital elements grows rapidly with time. This means that it is almost impossible to predict behavior of minor planets or comets on the orbit outside the period of time called the time of stability in our work. The time of stability for some selected minor planets and comets are given. For some minor planets and comets the time of stability is surprisingly short, about several hundreds years only.
