2. Precession of the Equinoxes. In astronomy, axial precession is a gravity-induced, slow and continuous change in the orientation of an astronomical body's rotational axis. In particular, it refers to the gradual shift in the orientation of Earth's axis of rotation, which, like a wobbling top, traces out a pair of cones joined at their apices in.

4. Nutation, in astronomy, a small irregularity in the precession of the equinoxes. Precession is the slow, toplike wobbling of the spinning Earth, with a period of about 26, years. Nutation (Latin nutare, “to nod”) superimposes a small oscillation, with a period of years and an amplitude of seconds.

5. precession of the equinoxes definition: Astron. the occurrence of the equinoxes earlier in each successive sidereal year because of a slow wobble in the earth's axial spin which shifts the equinoctial points slightly westward along the ecliptic: the wobble is caused by th.

6. What are some consequences of precession? 1) it changes which constellation the Sun is in on the equinoxes and solstices. 2) it can slowly alter the Earth's climate.

7. The precession of the equinoxes refers to the observable phenomena of the rotation of the heavens, a cycle which spans a period of (approximately) 25, years, over which time the constellations appear to slowly rotate around the earth, taking turns at rising behind the rising sun on the vernal equinox.
