EARTH’S S PRECESSION<br />

Most members of Solar System are near ecliptic, and tend to pull<br />

equatorial bulge of Earth towards it. Mostly due to Moon and Sun.<br />

Because Earth rotating, this torque cannot change inclination of<br />

equator to ecliptic, but causes rotation axis to turn in a direction<br />

perpendicular to axis and torque, describing a cone (P = 26,000 yr).
