If axial precession occurs ~26,000 yrs, what effect did it have on evolution, existing life? Any change in E-M radiation hitting the earth'surface? Does 7 mile long Hadron Collider have any net effect on Earth's magnetic field?
My grand daughter is having night terrors over the South Atlantic Anomaly. She is terrified by the Aurora, because of what they mean.
Much like enjoying, "bombs bursting in air" from the song.
Axial precession on its own does nothing to climate except to shift the seasons slowly around the calendar. It doesn't change climate, per se, nor how much E-M radiation from space we receive.
To my knowledge, the LHC is far too small to have any effects on the planet or its magnetic field.
I don't know why she should be afraid of aurorae, unless she is like a Ukrainian War survivor. Tell her these 50 to 200 miles above her, can't hurt her at all in any way (even if they can sometimes affect electrical grids or GPS units, easily fixable things. As for the South Atlantic Anomaly (I had to look that up), it is A) way too far to affect her, B) too high up to affect the surface at all, and C) both natural and around for far longer than her age and we're all doing just fine with it around.
Teach her (and quote me if you like) that Nature by itself is a wonderful thing, as long as we don't mess with it too much, and observing rare solar storms' auroras is one of the most beautiful things, akin to total solar eclipses or meteor storms you can watch in the sky. Fear not the fascinating. LK
