Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body. In an appropriate reference frame it can be defined as a change in...

In astronomy, axial precession is a gravity-induced, slow, and continuous change in the orientation of an astronomical body's rotational axis. In the absence...

In physics, Larmor precession (named after Joseph Larmor) is the precession of the magnetic moment of an object about an external magnetic field. The phenomenon...

Lunar precession is a term used for three different precession motions related to the Moon. First, it can refer to change in orientation of the lunar rotational...

is constant Precession may refer to: Precession, one of the Euler rotations Axial precession or precession of the equinoxes, the precession of the Earth's...

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

2nd century BC, as well as into developing the Hindu zodiac. Due to the precession of the equinoxes, the time of year the Sun is in a given constellation...

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

The geodetic effect (also known as geodetic precession, de Sitter precession or de Sitter effect) represents the effect of the curvature of spacetime,...

1920s, he hypothesized that variations in eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession combined to result in cyclical variations in the intra-annual and latitudinal...
