When Earth is closest to the sun the Northern Hemisphere is in winter. Given the effects of precession will this still be the case in 13000 years?

What does the spin on earth axis cause?
The "precession of the ecliptic" is a slow change in the orientation of the plane of the ecliptic (the Earth's orbital plane).This is not caused by the slow "wobble" of the Earth's rotational axis(That is what causes the celestial equator to precess.)The "precession of the ecliptic" is a similar (but smaller) effect to the "precession of the celestial equator".It is caused by the gravitational effects of the other planets, especially Jupiter and Venus.
Precession of earth's axis causes the date at which perihelion of earth's orbit occur to slowly change?
No.
Which is thought to be most responsible for earths ice ages?
Earth's precession
Earths tilt does not stay the same because of its what?
precession
How does precession affect the earth?
Precession causes the direction that the north and south pole point to shift. The Earth has a period of precession of about 25,772 Julian years, or about 20 minutes per sidereal year. This precession causes the perceived positions of the stars to shift. It also causes the points in our calendar that signify things, such as the Vernal Equinox, to shift.
The gradual wobble that changes the orientation of the Earth's axis in space is called?
"Precession", a cycle that runs roughly 26,000 years.Unless you're doing some pinpoint celestial navigation, or lab-grade measurements in astronomy,you don't notice the effects of precession during the interval of your lifetime.
What is the earth movement but it takes 26000 years what would it is called?
Precession, which in this case refers to a movement of Earth's axis. A full "turn" takes about 26,000 years.
What is an ayanamsha?
An ayanamsha is a degree of precession in Vedic astrology.
Why does the axial precession have little effect on the seasons?
The main reason is that the period of the axial precession is in the neighborhood of26,000 years, or roughly around 0.014 degree per year. Even if it had a great effecton anything, the change wouldn't be noticeable within a human lifetime at that rate.But no matter what stage of the precession the Earth is in, the axis is till tilted roughly23.5 degrees from "straight up and down", and THAT's the entire cause of the seasonsand their behavior.
When Earth is closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter Given the effects of precession will this still be the case in 13000 years?
No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.
How the Earth's precession differ from the Earth's rotation?
Precession refers to a gradual change in the direction of Earth's axis of rotation.
