Despite unnoticed, precession has very little effect on seasons in one's lifetime.
Explanation:
Despite unnoticed, precession has very little effect on seasons in
one's lifetime.: Noon is pushed to 11 h 59 m 59.7 s AM nearly, in a
year.
The longitude of the equinoxial right-over-head-Sun location, on the
equator shifts anticlockwise, by 50'', over a year.
After 100 years from now, noon would be at 11 h 2 m 25 s, nearly. ,
The difference is 57 m 35 s. So the effect on seasons, due to this
shift in the reference time called (vernal or autumnal) equinox, for
the precession motion of the Earth's axis, could be imagined.
