The Milankovitch cycles primarily change **the amount of solar energy that reaches Earth**. These cycles refer to the long-term variations in Earth's orbit and axial tilt, which affect the distribution and intensity of sunlight received by the planet, thereby influencing climate patterns over geological time scales.
