Nodal Precession

Nodal Precession is a type of secular perturbation in orbital mechanics characterized by the gradual, continuous rotation of the orbital plane of a celestial body about the symmetry axis of the central body, due to non-spherical gravitational forces, specifically manifesting as the precession of the line of nodes.
