Milankovitch Cycles refer to the long-term changes in Earth's climate caused by variations in its orbit and axial tilt. These cycles include three main components: changes in the shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun (eccentricity), the tilt of Earth's axis (obliquity), and the wobble of Earth's axis (precession). These factors influence the distribution of solar energy received by the planet, affecting climate patterns over thousands of years. These cycles play a significant role in the timing of ice ages and interglacial periods. As the Earth's position and orientation change, they can lead to variations in temperature and precipitation, impacting ecosystems and human activities. Understanding these cycles helps scientists predict future climate changes and their potential effects on the environment.
