Artist Olivia Locher, who scoured the statute books of all 50 states in America, discovering these peculiar eccentricities and many others, doesn't have the answers to these questions, but has created a series of striking photographic images lampooning some of the hundreds of decisions, big and small, made every year by local and state lawmakers.
But eccentricity modulates the effect of precession (the alignment of perihelion and aphelion with solstices or equinoxes)(actually, obliquity does modulate this too, but while obliquity variations have significant effect by themselves, they are relatively small in proportion to the difference with zero obliquity, whereas Earth's eccentricity variations include getting near zero, where aphelion and perihelion would have no effect as they wouldn't exist.
Re 37 Kevin McKinney — actually, orbitally - forced global annual average changes in TOA solar insolation are very small (in the case of Earth) and depend only on variations in eccentricity (setting aside the idea that there is a plane of dust and the plane of the orbit has a significant effect that way — heard the idea awhile ago, not sure there's much to support it?).
Vetoretti and Peltier (2004) found that glacial inceptions can be caused either by a strong obliquity forcing or by a combination of eccentricity - precession forcing and low CO2 values, which is in line with results from Berger and Loutre (2001) who found that CO2 is important during times like the MIS - 11, when the insolation variations are too small to drive glacial - interglacial cycles.
Climate forcings due to its variations are tiny compared with those of the Milankovitch eccentricities, which are small compared with forcing due to manmade CO2.
Changes in eccentricity alone have limited impacts on insolation, due to the resulting very small changes in the distance between the Sun and the Earth.
While it is possible that the less significant, and originally overlooked, inclination variability has a deep effect on climate, [11] the eccentricity only modifies insolation by a small amount: 1 — 2 % of the shift caused by the 21,000 - year precession and 41,000 - year obliquity cycles.
There are Milankovitch cycles of around 21,000, 40,000, 100,000, and 400,000 years — in the 100,000 year cycle involving orbital eccentricities the change in insolation is much smaller than with the 21,000 and 40,000 year cycles.
