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...

In astronomy, axial precession is a gravity-induced, slow, and continuous change in the orientation of an astronomical body's rotational axis. In the absence...

In physics, Larmor precession (named after Joseph Larmor) is the precession of the magnetic moment of an object about an external magnetic field. The phenomenon...

Lunar precession is a term used for three different precession motions related to the Moon. First, it can refer to change in orientation of the lunar rotational...

angle (angle of nutation) is constant Precession may refer to: Precession, one of the Euler rotations Precession (mechanical), the process of one part...

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

Phase precession is a neurophysiological process in which the time of firing of action potentials by individual neurons occurs progressively earlier in...

In physics, the Thomas precession, named after Llewellyn Thomas, is a relativistic correction that applies to the spin of an elementary particle or the...

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