Understanding Milankovitch Cycles
Explore the fascinating dynamics of Earth's Milankovitch cycles, which influence our climate over thousands of years. The tilt of the Earth, currently at 23.5 degrees, wobbles between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees, affecting seasonal extremes. Additionally, the axial precession shifts the orientation of our planet’s axis, with Polaris as the current north star, but this will change over the next 25,771 years. Visualizing these cycles as a spinning top and plate helps clarify the intricate movements that shape our climate.In this clip
