Difference between Astronomical nutation and Celestial pole

Astronomical nutation vs. Celestial pole

Astronomical nutation is a phenomenon which causes the orientation of the axis of rotation of a spinning astronomical object to vary over time. The north and south celestial poles are the two imaginary points in the sky where the Earth's axis of rotation, indefinitely extended, intersects the celestial sphere.

Similarities between Astronomical nutation and Celestial pole

Astronomical nutation and Celestial pole have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axial precession, Axial tilt, Declination, Earth, Equatorial coordinate system, Polar motion, Rotation around a fixed axis.

Axial precession

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

Axial tilt

In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, or, equivalently, the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane.

Declination

In astronomy, declination (abbreviated dec; symbol δ) is one of the two angles that locate a point on the celestial sphere in the equatorial coordinate system, the other being hour angle.

Rotation around a fixed axis

Rotation around a fixed axis or about a fixed axis of revolution or motion with respect to a fixed axis of rotation is a special case of rotational motion.

Astronomical nutation and Celestial pole Comparison

Astronomical nutation has 37 relations, while Celestial pole has 49. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 8.14% = 7 / (37 + 49).
