inclination of the Earth's axis

This occurs as a result of the inclination of the Earth's axis of rotation in relation to its orbit.

The inclination of the Earth's axis and the shape of its orbit around the Sun oscillate gently in cycles lasting tens of thousands of years.

The winter solstice doesn't leave much in the way of immediate visual evidence; instead, it marks the most extreme inclination of the Earth's axis, which draws the northern hemisphere the furthest from the Sun.

They performed the analysis of the cores and four years later, came to the conclusion that in the past 500,000 years, climate has changed depending on the inclination of the Earth's axis of rotation and its precession.

He could understand that an altered inclination of the earth's axis with regard to the ecliptic would introduce a change of position in the cardinal points, and bring about a displacement of the sea; but the hypothesis entirely failed to account, either for the shortening of the days, or for the diminution in the pressure of the atmosphere.
