Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body. It can be used to describe the rotation of everything from a simple gyroscope to the rotation of a planet. 420

What is earths precession?

The Earth is a spinning top (gyro) with a different moment of inertia about the spin axis than the other two axis. Therefore, it acts like a spinning top with both precession and nutation. Precession of the polar axis (relative to a 'fixed' distant star) forms a cone. The precession period (~26,000years) is the time it takes for the cone to be traced. Nutation occurs normal to the precession cone and has a much faster period (~18.6yrs).
