Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Earth's rotational axis precession takes approximately 26,000 years to complete one full revolution. This cycle is known as the precession of the equinoxes and has significant effects on Earth's climate and astronomical observations. The other options, 200 years, 1,800 years, and 51,000 years, do not correspond to any known cycles or phenomena related to Earth's rotational axis precession.
