text: The "precession of the ecliptic" is a slow change in the orientation of the plane of the ecliptic (the Earth's orbital plane).
text: The precession of Earth's axis is a very slow effect, but at the level of accuracy at which astronomers work, it does need to be taken into account on a daily basis.
text: Since the precession of equinoxes is so slow, taking about 26,000 years to complete a cycle, a single star typically holds that title for many centuries.
text: Precession is the slow, toplike wobbling of the spinning Earth, with a period of about 26,000 years.
text: Precession is a very slow "wobble" in the direction of the Earth's rotational axis, which takes about 25,800 years to complete.
text: Precession is the slow wobble of the Earth due to the fact that the Earth is not perfectly round and therefore the Sun and the Moon's gravitational pull is somewhat stronger on the equator of the Earth than elsewhere.
text: Precession is the slow movement of the the pole that the earth spins around, so that the place it points to in the sky moves in a big circle.
text: The "precession of the ecliptic" is a slow change in the orientation of the plane of the ecliptic (the Earth's orbital plane).
text: Personally I'm happy with the opening statement that precession is the slow change in orientation of the axis, because that gives the ordinary reader a "good enough" (at this point) picture of roughly what the concept is.
text: Precession of the Earth's axis is a very slow effect, but at the level of accuracy at which astronomers work, it does need to be taken into account.
