Milankovitch theory is a theory that there are changes in Earths orbit and tilt.
This alters the amount of energy reaching the Earth.
Every 41 thousand years, there is a chance in the tilt of Earths axis.
A greater tilt means more sunlight in the polar regions.
Over a 97,000 year cycle, the Earths orbit stretches.
