          Milankovitch cycles

          Global climate cycles

          Milankovitch cycles describe the collective effects of changes in the Earth's movements on its climate over thousands of years.

        3. Serbian mathematician, astronomer, geophysicist, climatologist, and engineer (–).
        4. English: Milutin Milanković as student, in Viena.

          5. The term was coined and named after the Serbian geophysicist and astronomerMilutin Milanković. In the 1920s, he provided a more definitive and quantitative analysis than James Croll's earlier hypothesis that variations in eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession combined to result in cyclical variations in the intra-annual and latitudinal distribution of solar radiation at the Earth's surface, and that this orbital forcing strongly influenced the Earth's climatic patterns.[1][2][3]

          Earth movements

          The Earth's rotation around its axis, and revolution around the Sun, evolve over time due to gravitational interactions with other bodies in the Solar System.

          The variations are complex, but a few cycles are dominant.[4]

          Circular orbit, no eccentricity
