What is the term for the way tat earth wobbles around its rotation axis?
The Earth doesn't wobble around its rotation axis. The rotation axis itself rotates,so that the Earth's poles trace around a 23.5-degree circle in the sky, every 26,000years. The term that describes it is "precession".The Earth doesn't wobble around its rotation axis.

When will the next precession begin?
The next precession of the Earth's axis is already in progress and it occurs over a period of about 26,000 years. The exact timing of when one precession cycle ends and another begins is not easily pinpointed.
Which motions refers to Earth's spinning on it's axis?
Precession of the equinox.
Which best describes the beginning of the big bang?
A blowing of a balloon best describes the BIG BANG best
What is earths precession?
The Earth is a spinning top (gyro) with a different moment of inertia about the spin axis than the other two axis. Therefore, it acts like a spinning top with both precession and nutation. Precession of the polar axis (relative to a 'fixed' distant star) forms a cone. The precession period (~26,000years) is the time it takes for the cone to be traced. Nutation occurs normal to the precession cone and has a much faster period (~18.6yrs).
