Orbital Parameter Variations

Orbital Parameter Variations is a theoretical construct in climatology that specifies the gradual changes in Earth's orbital characteristics—namely eccentricity, axial tilt (obliquity), and precession—distinguishing it from other climate forcings by describing the periodic modulations in solar insolation caused by celestial mechanics underlying Milankovitch cycles.
