Precession (disambiguation)

Precession refers to a specific change in the direction of the rotation axis of a rotating object, in which the second Euler angle (angle of nutation) is constant

Precession may refer to:


 * Precession, one of the Euler rotations
 * Precession (mechanical), the process of one part rotating with respect to another due to fretting between the two
 * Larmor precession, the precession of the magnetic moments of electrons, atomic nuclei, and atoms about an external magnetic field
 * Astronomical precession
 * Axial precession or precession of the equinoxes, the precession of the Earth's axis of rotation
 * Apsidal precession, the rotation of the orbit of a celestial body
 * Nodal precession, the precession of the orbital plane of a satellite around the rotational axis of an astronomical body due to the non-spherical nature of it.
 * Relativistic Precession (disambiguation)
 * Thomas precession, a special relativistic correction to the precession of a gyroscope in a rotating non-inertial frame
 * de Sitter precession, a general relativistic correction to the precession of a gyroscope near a large mass such as the Earth
 * Lense-Thirring precession, a general relativistic correction to the precession of a gyroscope near a large rotating mass such as the Earth
 * Phase precession, a pattern of neuronal firing in relation to local neuron populations
