Precession of the equinoxes (Astron.), the slow backward
motion of the equinoctial points along the ecliptic, at
the rate of 50.2[sec] annually, caused by the action of
the sun, moon, and planets, upon the protuberant matter
about the earth's equator, in connection with its diurnal
rotation; -- so called because either equinox, owing to
its westerly motion, comes to the meridian sooner each day
than the point it would have occupied without the motion
of precession, and thus precedes that point continually
with reference to the time of transit and motion.

ecliptic; the period occupied by the earth in making its
revolution around the sun, called the astronomical year;

adopted by various nations as a measure of time, and

366 days, a day being added to February on that year, on
account of the excess above 365 days (see Bissextile).
