Precession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotation axis of a rotating body. It can be defined as a change in direction of the rotation axis in which the second Euler angle (nutation) is consta...

Axial precession (astronomy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In astronomy, axial precession is a gravity-induced, slow and continuous change in the orientation of an astronomical body's rotational axis. In particular, it refers to the gradual shift in the ori...

Equinoctial precession is a circular motion of Earth's rotational axis with respect to the "fixed" stars, also known as lunisolar precession. It is caused by the torque of the Sun and Moon on the Earth's rotational bulge.
