Apsidal Precession

Apsidal precession is the gradual rotation of the line connecting the closest and farthest points of an orbiting body’s elliptical trajectory around a central mass, arising from secular perturbations that perturb the orbital elements over time, thereby distinguishing it from other forms of orbital precession by specifically affecting the orientation of the orbit's apsides.
