Definition of Precesses. Meaning of Precesses. Synonyms of Precesses

- slowly in the same direction as the Moon itself (direct motion) – meaning precesses eastward by 360°. The Moon's apsidal precession is distinct from the nodal...
- momentum. The angular momentum vector J → {\displaystyle {\vec {J}}} precesses about the external field axis with an angular frequency known as the Larmor...
- respect to the fixed stars, so their intersection, the line of nodes, also precesses with respect to the fixed stars. Although the plane of the ecliptic is...
- fixed relative to Earth. At other latitudes, the plane of oscillation precesses relative to Earth, but more slowly than at the pole; the angular speed...
- mean solar time. More technically, it is an orbit arranged so that it precesses through one complete revolution each year, so it always maintains the...
- system. Due to the Kozai effect, Carpo's argument of periapsis never precesses and instead librates about 90° with respect to the ecliptic, which keeps...
- plane about whose axis the instantaneous orbital plane of that satellite precesses. Laplace's name is sometimes applied to the invariable plane, which is...
- characterized by a distribution of Δω. As the net magnetization vector precesses, some spin packets slow down due to lower fields and others speed up due...
- Hemisphere and clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. The example shows that one in Paris precesses 271° each sidereal day, taking 31.8 hours per rotation....
- rotation but also by Earth's orbit around the Sun. The March equinox itself precesses slowly westward relative to the fixed stars, completing one revolution...
