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.
How much time Earth takes to circle its own axis?
Earth's cycle of axis precession takes 26,000 years.
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.
which best describes precession ?
Earth's axis wobbles.
Which motions refers to Earth's spinning on it's axis?
Precession of the equinox.
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 long does a complete precession cycle take?
It depends on what object you are talking about. If you are asking about the precession of the Earth's axis, then that is about 26,000 years.
What is Equinox Precession?
a process that takes approximately 23,000 years to complete ---- Many geologists think Earth's climatic cycle is due to equinox precession, a process that takes approximately 23,000 years to complete. During equinox precession, Earth wobbles on its axis, causing the degree to which the Earth is tilted on its axis to vary. This variance produces changes in the amount of solar radiation reaching different parts of Earth's surface, thus influencing the global climate. During some parts of this cycle, Earth is cooler and has ice ages. During other parts of this cycle, Earth experiences global warming.
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.
How does precession effect the minimum and maximum value of earths cycle?
Which Earth cycle are you referring to (there are many). If you want us to answer your questions you must be sure your question is as precise as possible.
How much time Earth takes to circle its own axis?
Earth's cycle of axis precession takes 26,000 years.
Which is thought to be most responsible for earths ice ages?
Earth's precession

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.
Earths precession resulted in an ice age that ended about how many years ago?
In the last couple of million years, the Earth has experienced dozens of ice ages. The last one ended about 15,000 years ago. We don't know if they are related at all to the Earth's "precession", which is a 26,000-year-long "wobble" in the Earth's spin. There is no reason for precession to have any effect on Earth's climate, since the 'tilt' of the axis remains constant throughout the cycle of precession.
What is precession and What are some of its possible consequences?
'Precession' might be described as 'axial wobbling'. If we think of the Earth's North and South Poles, they lie on a line directly through the centre of the Earth. This line is angled at 23.5 degrees to the orbital plane. As a result it gives us the seasons. However, this line that is tilted at 23.5 degrees is NOT a static angle, but varies over thousands of years. Currently it is decreasing , and will eventually reach an angle of approximately 20 degrees (the seasons will be less extreme). Whereupon, it will then start to increase again to about 30 degrees (the seasons will become more extreme) . This tilting movement is called precession. As an experiment, if you have a child's spinning top or a gyro, set it spinning. You will notice that it 'wobbles', this is precession. The Earth does exactly the same, over thousands of years.
Is Polaris the north star?
It is currently but 5,000 years ago the North star was Vega. This is because the Earth's axis wobbles (precession) every few thousand years.
