The feature of earth's movement that takes about 26,000 years is called Precession.

Explanation:

The movement of the Earth's axis is called precession.

This movement is caused by the gravitational attraction of the Sun and the Moon on Earth.

Near the year 130 B. C. Hipparchus was the first to estimate the precision of this axis, whose period is about 26,000 years.

To better understand this concept, we must think that this movement is similar to that of a spinning top.
