I googled and found this angle of Earth is claimed to be 1.5787 degree. Does it change over the time? Does anyone know any history of this tilt? I wonder if it's linked to global warming.
Isn't there? Or more importantly, is there a need for any more than there is? It's a pretty straightforward and somewhat trivial calculation.HelioGeo said:there's not so much information or study on this reference plane, right?
Which is very un-dynamic. Like with all gyroscopes, orientations of orbits tend to be very hard to change.HelioGeo said:It would be as dynamic as angular momentum itself, that includes both 11 years period and Milankowitch cycles.
I believe you are right, I just don't know some references to support this.Bandersnatch said:Also, I don't see what the 11 year solar sunspot cycle has to do with the invariable plane or angular momentum in general.
I didn't forget your question. I feel there's a need. Planck Constant is a quantum of angular momentum, isn't there a need to know where was the invariable plane when Planck Constant was measured?Bandersnatch said:Isn't there?

No. Planck constant is not the quantum of angular momentum, even though it has the same dimensions. It's the quantum of action.HelioGeo said:I didn't forget your question. I feel there's a need.

The invariable plane is tilted to the ecliptic plane due to the gravitational interactions between the planets in our solar system. These interactions cause the orbits of the planets to gradually shift and tilt over time, resulting in the tilt of the invariable plane.
The tilt of the invariable plane to the ecliptic plane is important because it helps us understand the dynamics of our solar system. It also plays a role in the formation and evolution of planetary systems.
The tilt of the invariable plane does not directly affect the orbits of the planets, but it can influence the gravitational interactions between them. This can lead to changes in the shape and orientation of the orbits over time.
No, the tilt of the invariable plane is not constant. It can vary over time due to gravitational interactions between the planets and other celestial bodies in our solar system.
Yes, the tilt of the invariable plane can change significantly over long periods of time. This is due to the complex gravitational interactions between the planets and other objects in our solar system.
