Sentences with phrase «about obliquity»

Not exact matches

The acceleration caused by the jets is so small — about a millionth of a metre per second squared — that the star would have to move in the same direction for a million years to create obliquity.

As I re-read my answers, particularly the one about using the PF to address pelvic obliquity, likely many readers thought: I'll use my manual acumen to get it organized and then send them out to a women's health therapist for that pelvic floor stuff.

This may also help explain why, before about 800 ky ago, glacial cycles were dominated by the 41 ky obliquity cycle, while precession had very little effect.

Raypierre also mentions an interesting idea (p. 467 of his textbook) about variations in precession and eccentricity largely cancelling due to Kepler's law, leaving variations in obliquity (~ 40kyr) as the largest effective forcing, with some nonlinearity (CO2?)

The obliquity of the ecliptic (an angle of 23.44 ° that is the difference between the planes of the Earth's rotation on its axis and its revolution around the Sun) limits the seasonal shifting of the Pacific trade - wind belts to about 5 ° of latitude.

It could only do so when precession modulation and eccentricity also provided a coincident warming impulse; this happens about every 2 or 3 obliquity cycles.

For example, in the Upper Carboniferous (~ 300 million years ago), the ~ 41,000 yr obliquity cycle would have taken about 33,000 years (see e.g., here)
