1. Precession Of The Equinoxes

   Linked via "Moon's gravitational influence"

However, due to the principle of angular momentum conservation, the Earth does not tilt toward the ecliptic; instead, its axis of rotation wobbles, much like a spinning top that is slowing down. This wobble is the precession.
