Is there a reason it precesses at that particular speed, some resonance or tidal locking or something? Or is it basically a random initial condition?

- wcoenen 7y agoIt's pretty random. It's mostly caused by gravitation from the sun and moon, and counteracted by the Earth's spin; faster spin would mean slower precession.
