    Definition
    Orbital forcing is the influence of slow, systematic and predictable changes in orbital parameters (eccentricity, obliquity and precession of the equinox) on incoming solar radiation (insolation), especially its latitudinal and seasonal distribution. It is an external forcing and a key driver of glacial–interglacial cycles. (English)
