Question

Given the effects of precession, will this still be the case in 13,000 years? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Due to precession, the Earth's axial tilt slowly changes over time. As time progresses, the locations on the Earth's orbit at which equinoxes and solstices occur will change. Thus, the location of the current summer solstice will become the location of winter solstice 13,000 years hence.
