Abstract: We review research on long-term variations in Earth's insolation due to celestial mechanics processes. Based on an analytical survey of Earth's insolation calculations, general problems encountered in the physical and mathematical modeling of climate are outlined.

Keywords: Earth's insolation, orbital motion, variations, Earth's climate, climate models.
