general precession

subject fact

general precession has rate 50".27 per year has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:29:51.0
has definition The sum of the lunisolar and the planetary precession. It causes the ecliptic longitude to increase at a constant rate but has no effect on ecliptic latitude. has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:29:51.0
