Known as the Miklankovitch cycles, they operate on different timescales. Eccentricity relates to the fact that the earth's orbit changes to being more or less elliptical about every 100,000 years. Obliquity relates to the fact that the axis if the earth varies in inclination over a cycle of 41,000 years. Precession relates to the fact that the earth wobbles slightly in its axis over a period of 23,000 years. All these cycles vary so that sometimes they add to each other, and sometimes they are working against each other, and this affects the amount of sunlight reaching the earth. This promotes regular changes in the earth's temperature, over which we have no control.
