Question

problem 36
which of the following is not a consequence of the earths precession?
where the earths axis points in the sky changes over the centuries and millennia.
polaris will no longer be the north star in several thousand years.
the signs of the zodiac most astrologers use are no longer in accord with the constellations in which the sun is currently found over the course of the year.
the earth wobbles (like a spinning top) with a period of 26,000 years.
the stars twinkle when seen from the surface of planet earth.

Explanation:

Earth's precession is a slow, conical - like movement of its axis. It causes the axis's pointing direction in the sky to change over time, affects the position of the North Star, and leads to a mismatch between zodiac signs and constellations. The Earth's wobbling is part of precession with a 26,000 - year period. However, the twinkling of stars is due to the Earth's atmosphere bending and scattering starlight, not related to precession.

Answer:

The stars twinkle when seen from the surface of planet Earth.
