The Tilt of the Earth's Axis and its Elliptical Orbit. We have all been taught that the seasons are caused by the 23.4Â° angular offset (obliquity) between the Earth's axis of rotation and a perpendicular to the Earth's orbital plane with the Sun (see obliquity below).
The planets have some gravitational influence also, but insignificant compared to the sun and moon. Still, the planets manage to cause the orbit of earth about the sun to precess, with a period of 71000 years. They also cause an oscillation in the ellipticity of earth's orbit. Taken in conjunction with the 26000-year spin-axis precession, the 71000-year orbit precession causes a 41000-year oscillation in the tilt of the earths axis, about plus or minus 1.3 degrees from its average value of 23.3 degrees.
