Orbital effects on climate
There are various solar/celestial effects that exist which have an effect on Earth's climate. These effects usually occur in cycles, and primarily include how Earth's obliquity, the eccentricity of Earth's orbit, and the precession of the equinoxes and solstices affect Earth's climate. In addition to these effects, there are also other factors that have an effect on Earth's climate. These other factors include how sun activity affects climate〔Solar cycle#Terrestrial climate〕 and how celestial phenomena, such as meteors, affect Earth's climate. Some of these factors aren't yet well understood, for instance the ice ages occur on 100,000 year cycles, and it's not completely understood why the various effects with this periodicity have such a strong effect on glaciation - see the 100,000-year problem
==Overview==
Climate in general is an extremely complex system, dealing with temperature and weather conditions over an extended period of time. There are many things which influence Earth's climate. Among these many things, are various solar effects. Earth’s climate is affected by a number of factors dealing with the Earth as a whole, in relation to its position in the space relative to the sun. These factors include the angle of Earth’s axial tilt (also known as Earth’s obliquity), the eccentricity of Earth’s orbit (how circular/elliptical Earth’s orbit is), and Earth’s position in time in the precession of the solstices and equinoxes (with different Earth-Sun distances during any given season).〔Ruddiman, William F. "Earth's Climate Past and Future, 2nd Edition."〕
Although these are the primary three factors in shaping Earths climate, there are other, external, factors that can help shape Earth’s climate. These external factors usually affect Earth climate on a very different time scale than the other three, and include factors such as: meteors striking Earth and geomagnetic storms.〔Pickering, Kevin T. "The Cenozoic World."〕 These external forces usually contribute to climate change on a time scale, as meteorites strike the earth, on average, every 50 to 100 million years, where as geomagnetic storms occur periodically through the sun’s eleven-year activity cycle. With all of these factors affecting climate in their own way, it becomes easy to see that Earth’s climate is in fact, largely dependent on various solar effects/circumstances.
