Precession rate

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008102",
  "term": "Precession rate",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The speed at which the Earth's axis of rotation slowly changes its orientation in space, tracing out a cone over thousands of years. This astronomical phenomenon, known as axial precession, influences the timing of the solstices and equinoxes relative to Earth's orbit, thereby affecting long-term climate patterns. The current precession rate is approximately 50.3 arcseconds per year, completing a cycle in about 25,800 years.",
