Nodal precession is the precession of the orbital plane of a satellite around the rotational axis of an astronomical body such as Earth. This precession...

precession followed by spinning objects. In addition, the orbit of the Moon undergoes two important types of precessional motion: apsidal and nodal....

Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body. In an appropriate reference frame it can be defined as a change in...

orbital precession may refer to: Apsidal precession, where the major axis of an elliptical orbit cycles its orientation within its orbital plane. Nodal precession...

In celestial mechanics, apsidal precession (or apsidal advance) is the precession (gradual rotation) of the line connecting the apsides (line of apsides)...

eastward by 360°. The Moon's apsidal precession is distinct from the nodal precession of its orbital plane and axial precession of the moon itself. The mean inclination...

S/2002 N 5's orbit exhibits nodal precession with an average period of about 3,100 Earth years and apsidal precession with an average period of about...

N 1's orbit exhibits nodal precession with an average period of about 900 Earth years, but it does not exhibit apsidal precession. Instead, the argument...

stable (minimally time-varying) orbit elements. These orbits use the nodal precession effect to shift the orbit so the ground track coincides with that of...

S/2023 U 1's orbit exhibits nodal precession with an average period of about 5,000 Earth years and apsidal precession with an average period of about...

{\displaystyle {\dot {\Omega }}_{s}} and n s {\displaystyle n_{s}} are the nodal precession rate and mean motion of the moon, respectively. CIR supports 2m stable...

transit increases over centuries as a result of Mercury's nodal precession and Earth's axial precession. Transits of Mercury occur on a regular basis. As explained...

This term is sometimes erroneously used for the draconic or nodal period of lunar precession, that is the period of a complete revolution of the Moon's...
