HelioGeo
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.
