the amount of solar energy that reaches Earth
Milankovitch cycles (changes in eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession) alter Earth's orbit and orientation, which changes the timing and distribution—and therefore the amount—of solar radiation (insolation) reaching different latitudes and seasons. They do not directly change Earth's reflectivity or the length of the year.
