  2. Axial parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_parallelism

    Axial parallelism of Saturn's rings, in a 17th century work by James Ferguson (Scottish astronomer) Axial parallelism can be seen in the Moon's tilted orbital plane.This results in the revolution of the lunar nodes relative to the Earth, causing an eclipse season approximately every six months, in which a solar eclipse can occur at the new moon phase and a lunar eclipse can occur at the full ...

  3. Axial precession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession

    Axial precession is similar to the precession of a spinning top. In both cases, the applied force is due to gravity. For a spinning top, this force tends to be almost parallel to the rotation axis initially and increases as the top slows down. For a gyroscope on a stand it can approach 90 degrees.

    Axial tilt of eight planets and two dwarf planets, Ceres and Pluto All four of the innermost, rocky planets of the Solar System may have had large variations of their obliquity in the past. Since obliquity is the angle between the axis of rotation and the direction perpendicular to the orbital plane, it changes as the orbital plane changes due ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season

    Axial parallelism is a characteristic of the Earth (and most other orbiting bodies in space) in which the direction of the axis remains parallel to itself throughout its orbit. The Earth's orbit exhibits approximate axial parallelism, maintaining its direction toward Polaris (the "North Star") year-round. This is one of the primary reasons for ...
