Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

Obliquity results in seasons and has the greatest effect on insolation.

Eccentricity has a slightly minor effect, so that northern winters are a few degrees warmer than southern winters. Precession occurs over a 26000 year cycle, so has almost negligible effect.

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
