Orbital precession
text:
In celestial mechanics, orbital precession may refer to: Apsidal precession, where the major axis of an elliptical orbit cycles its orientation within its orbital plane.
Nodal precession, where non-spherical objects cause orbiting objects to change their orbits. Not to be confused with: Axial precession, where the rotation axis of a spinning object traces a conical path like a top.
