Milankovitch Cycle

Milankovitch cycles: Earth that wobble slightly revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit-causing our night and days. The combination of the wobble and elliptical orbit appears to affect how cold winters and hot summers are. Since the sun is not center of the orbit, the winters are different when they are in different sides. Milankovitch believes this cause ice ages and interglacial ages.
