What are the three parts of the Milankovitch Cycles?

A:The Milankovitch (or Milankovich) Theory describes the collective effects of changes in the earth's movements upon its climate. A cycle of precession lasts 26,000 years. At the same time, there is a cycle in which the earth's elliptical orbit rotates. The angle between Earth's rotational axis and the normal to the plane of its orbit oscillates between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees on a 41,000-year cycle. The combined effect of these and other cycles can produce a long-term cycle in the amount of warmth received from the sun. Milankovitch cycles operate over the very long term and have great value as a theory to explain ice ages and long-term changes in the climate, but are unlikely to have very much impact on the decade-century timescale. Over several centuries, it may be possible to observe the effect of these orbital parameters, however for the prediction of climate change in the twenty-first century, these changes are considered far less important than radiative forcing from greenhouse gases.

Is global warming or the sun's cycle or the milankovitch theory or the asteroid impact considered an effect on climate change?

Scientists conclude that the main factor in climate change is the present global warming from the burning of fossil fuels(coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).


What does the milankovitch theory explain?

The Milankovitch theory was created by Milutin Milankovitch in the early 1900's while under house arrest. He calculated the temperature cycles based on the tilt of our planet, the gravitional pull of other planets and other natural issues that occur on roughly 26,000, 48,000 and 100,000 year cycles. His calculations coincided with the derived temperatures that were taken from the Lake Vostok glacial samples. One of the more interesting thngs that he theorized was that temperatures of the planet would crest when all the large planets were on one side of the sun and causing our orbit to be least circular. Under this theory, the planets natural temperatures should be cresting roughly about now. He developed these temperature cycles and theories without taking into account CO2 measurements.

Do changes in eccentricity obliquity and precession interact to influence Earths climate?

Yes, This theory is referred to as the Milankovich Theory and the temperatures shown from the glacial samples at Vostok dovetail with these cycles very well.
