Here's a breakdown:

* Precession: A slow, conical motion of the axis of rotation of a spinning object. Think of a spinning top slowly tracing a circle with its axis of rotation.

* Causes of Precession: Precession is caused by a torque acting on the spinning object. This torque can arise from various sources, such as gravity, friction, or an off-center force.
