    Earth's orbit varies in eccentricity, obliquity, and precession over long time periods, ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. Eccentricity refers to the shape of Earth's orbit and varies from nearly circular to more elliptical over 100,000 years. Obliquity is the tilt of Earth's axis and varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees every 40,000 years. Precession causes the direction of Earth's axis to shift over 26,000 years, changing which star appears at the North Pole every 13,000 years. These cyclical changes in Earth's orbit and orientation affect the amount of solar radiation received in different regions and are thought to influence long-term climate patterns.
