Precession is primarily caused by gravitational forces from other celestial bodies acting on the spinning object's equatorial bulge. This causes the object's axis of rotation to trace out a cone over time. For example, the precession of Earth's axis is mainly influenced by the gravitational forces from the Moon and the Sun.
The precession of Earth's axis causes the orientation of Earth's orbit to slowly change over thousands of years. This results in a shifting of the position of perihelion (closest point to the Sun) along Earth's orbit, affecting the timing of when perihelion occurs in relation to the calendar.
The next precession of the Earth's axis is already in progress and it occurs over a period of about 26,000 years. The exact timing of when one precession cycle ends and another begins is not easily pinpointed.
Precession of the equinox.
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).
Earth's axis wobbles.
The sideways push responsible for precession is caused by torque, which is a twisting force applied to an object. In the case of precession, this torque is typically generated by an external force acting on a spinning object that is not aligned with its axis of rotation. The resulting torque causes the object to precess, or tip sideways, in a circular motion.
Earth has four main motions: rotation, which causes day and night; revolution, which causes the annual seasons; precession, which causes a slow wobble in its axis; and nutation, which causes a slight variation in the tilt of its axis.
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 direction of precession of a gyroscope is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
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.
The precession of Earth's axis causes the orientation of Earth's orbit to slowly change over thousands of years. This results in a shifting of the position of perihelion (closest point to the Sun) along Earth's orbit, affecting the timing of when perihelion occurs in relation to the calendar.
Precession, which in this case refers to a movement of Earth's axis. A full "turn" takes about 26,000 years.
An ayanamsha is a degree of precession in Vedic astrology.
This movement is known as axial precession, where the Earth's axis slowly traces out a circle over a period of approximately 26,000 years. This process causes changes in the orientation of Earth's axis relative to the stars over time.
The next precession of the Earth's axis is already in progress and it occurs over a period of about 26,000 years. The exact timing of when one precession cycle ends and another begins is not easily pinpointed.
There is no Larmor precession without magnetic field
