We have a large change in weather when we travel just a few hundred miles on earth in any direction. What if earths orbit changed just a fraction of one degrees around the sun. It would cause a big change in the climate, like an ice age for example.
Does anyone actually keep tract of our orbit (millions of miles) to calculate if our orbit has changed and by how much? I know this occurs naturaly every few thousands of years or so ,but by how much? When we come out of an ice age, maybe it it gets a little warmer each time at its peak period. Maybe we get a little closer to the sun each time.this cycle occurs. I don't think anyone knows for sure, it's been going on for millions of years and I'm sure our orbit is not as precise as we think it is. Also keep in mind that the temperature of the sun is not always the same. It probably has it's own cycle to.
