Based on the concept of orbital stability introduced by G. W. Hill, a method is presented to facilitate the determination of the orbital stability of solutions to the planar elliptic restricted problem of three bodies. The invariant relation introduced by Szebehely and Giacaglia (1964) contains an integral which is expanded here about a Keplerian solution to the problem. If the expansion converges, it can be used to determine the conditions for Hill stability. With it one can also define stability in a periodic sense.
