"The theory of Milankovitch [also called '''Astronomical Theory'''] cycles states that periodic changes in Earth’s orbit cause increased summertime [[sun radiation]] in the northern hemisphere." [http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2007-09/uosc-cdd092507.php]  It is named after Milutin Milanković.

The '''Milankovitch theory''' is the main [[uniformitarian]] explanation for the the dozens of [[Ice Ages]] that are all edged to have occurred over the last few million years. It is widely accepted due to a theory published 40 years ago as of December, 2016, titled "Variations in the Earth's Orbit: Pacemaker of the Ice Ages."<ref>Hays, J.D., J. Imbrie, and N.J. Shackleton. 1976. Variations in the Earth's Orbit: Pacemaker of the Ice Ages. ''Science''. 194 (4270): 1121-1132.</ref> The paper presents an argument based on two deep-sea cores from the Indian Ocean that the climate was undergoing cycles roughly 100, 42, and 23 thousand years in length. It was seen as strong evidence for the paper that these numbers are very close to the cycle lengths that would be exhibited by the [[Earth]]'s orbital and rotational motions in an ancient solar system.

The theory is of significant importance to Uniformitarian scientists, because it is assumed in order to calculate  the ages of sea floor sediment cores using a technique called "orbital tuning."<ref>Herbert, J. 2014. Ice Cores, Seafloor Sediments, and the Age of the Earth, Part 1. ''Acts & Facts.'' 43 (6): 12-14</ref> These seafloor sediment ages are then used to date the deep ice cores of Greenland, Antarctica, as well as other sediment cores. It is even used to calibrate argon-argon [[radioisotope dating]].<ref>Renne, P. R. et al. 1994. Intercalibration of astronomical and radioisotope time. ''Geology.'' 22 (9): 783-786</ref>
