Explanation:

The Milankovitch cycles -

This is the movement related to Earth's orbit around the Sun .

There are three cycles , Axial tilt , Eccentricity and precession .

According to this theory , these cycles together affect the amount of the solar heat that is incident towards the Earth's surface and the climatic pattern .
