Add to ORKGThis page describes the tilt of the Earth's axis, its elliptical orbit, the length of the year and their relation to certain long-term cycles. Topics include the Milankovitch Cycles (cyclic changes in the direction of the Earth's rotation axis in space) and changes in obliquity (the tilt of the Earth's axis with respect to a direction perpendicular to its orbital plane).
