Notes on Precession in Astronomy
... Precession is the slow gyration of the Earth’s spin axis, due to the gravitational pull of the Moon, Sun and planets on the unevenly distributed mass of the Earth. The Earth slowly wobbles, much as a top, or gyroscope, does when spun. This wobble is called the Earth's Precession. ...
