Remember Kelleher simulates stupidity to annoy, frustrate and
generally wind-up people.
If you don't believe me let's do a little test.
I do not condescend to readers or put them to the test,the question as
to where the polar daylight/darkness cycle comes from more or less
takes care of the dynamical insight into the orbital behavior of the
Earth as it turns slowly and unevenly to the central Sun.There is an
analogy by imitation where a broom handle substitutes for daily
rotation and the polar coordinates and the line of a person's body and
the specific way they walk around a central object (while keeping the
broom handle pointing consistently to the same external point) as a
means to imitate the orbital behavior of the Earth.It takes all of a
few minutes to put the analogy and observations in order and as
different rules now apply,I would be indifferent to people who can't
interpret the information properly whereas before there was room for
refining the insight and the analogy.

So Gerald please explain in extreme detail what you mean by this.
After the dynamical inputs are in order,then the real work begins.A
person who resides at polar latitudes is not fried during the time he
experiences constant solar radiation during the 6 month period where
the Sun is visible,this gets rid of the tendency to reference
temperature fluctuations between January and July based on inclination
to solar radiation and puts emphasis on planetary dynamics where the
major cause of temperature fluctuations belong.The general rule is
that the greater the variations in daylight/darkness amounts at
different latitudes tend to follow greater variations in temperature
fluctuations over an orbital cycle such as experienced between
equatorial and polar regions in such a way that the focus shifts away
from localized inclination to solar radiation and takes more stock of
the modifying factors between latitudes,
In short,once you ask the question about the polar daylight/darkness
cycle you have already begun to investigate the orbital component and
almost answer the question without any prompting,from experience I see
that it is already common knowledge even without making it into
mainstream literature and have absolutely no doubt that readers here
partly see how large a modification it actually is.Possibly somebody
could go some way to put the explanation into graphical form for the
first time where a combination of daily rotation and orbital motion to
the central Sun takes care of the major astronomical components in the
seasonal explanation and almost the sole reason why natural noon
cycles vary.
