Tag: earth's rotation

This quiz covers the fundamental concepts related to Earth's rotation and revolution, including its axis, speed, and the resulting effects on various aspects of our planet.

The precession of the equinoxes is a slow and continuous shift in the position of the equinoxes, the points on the celestial sphere where the ecliptic (the path of the Sun) intersects the celestial equator. This shift is caused by the gradual change in the orientation of Earth's axis of rotation, which is known as axial precession.
