In celestial mechanics, apsidal precession (or apsidal advance) is the precession (gradual rotation) of the line connecting the apsides (line of apsides)...

Moon's axial precession is westwards - whereas Apsidal precession is in the same direction as the rotation (meaning apsidal precession is eastward)....

In celestial mechanics, orbital precession may refer to: Apsidal precession, where the major axis of an elliptical orbit cycles its orientation within...
