law of precession
1Precession (astronomy) — In astronomy, precession refers to the movement of the rotational axis of a body, such as a planet, with respect to inertial space. In particular, it refers to the precession of the Earth s rotational axis, also called the precession of the… …
2Apsidal precession — This article is about rotation of the orbit of a celestial body. For precession of the rotational axis, see precession of the equator. For change in orbital inclination, see precession of the ecliptic. In celestial mechanics, perihelion… …
