Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The astronomical theory of climatic change, also known as Milankovitch cycles, focuses on changes in Earth's movements and positions relative to the Sun, such as the shape of its orbit (C), the tilt of its axis (D), and the wobble of its axis (E). It does not directly involve variations in solar output (B), which is more related to the Sun's internal processes than Earth's astronomical characteristics.
