Difference between Orbital period and Precession

Orbital period vs. Precession

The orbital period is the time a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object, and applies in astronomy usually to planets or asteroids orbiting the Sun, moons orbiting planets, exoplanets orbiting other stars, or binary stars. Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body.

Similarities between Orbital period and Precession

Orbital period and Precession have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Earth, Ecliptic, Frame of reference, General relativity, Jupiter, Mercury (planet), Moon, Orbit, Orbital node, Sun.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

Ecliptic

The ecliptic is the circular path on the celestial sphere that the Sun follows over the course of a year; it is the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system.

Frame of reference

In physics, a frame of reference (or reference frame) consists of an abstract coordinate system and the set of physical reference points that uniquely fix (locate and orient) the coordinate system and standardize measurements.

General relativity

General relativity (GR, also known as the general theory of relativity or GTR) is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and the current description of gravitation in modern physics.

Orbit

In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object, such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.

Orbital node

An orbital node is either of the two points where an orbit intersects a plane of reference to which it is inclined.

Orbital period and Precession Comparison

Orbital period has 73 relations, while Precession has 69. As they have in common 10, the Jaccard index is 7.04% = 10 / (73 + 69).
