In a planar earth model, how does one explain nutation— the wobble in the earth’s axis as it processes?
And how does one explain why the period of the earth’s nutation cycles exactly equals the period of the moon’s orbital precession?
Not saying the earth isn’t flat as you say. Just looking to compare how the planar and spherical earth explain these phenomena.

@CopperCicada I do not know. I know that the Earth does not move at all. Also that it is most likely flat.
