Default Same thread

It is important to recognize the second surface rotation which combines with daily rotation at lower latitudes to cause the seasons.Unlike the era of Copernicus when few understood the actual arguments for the Earth's daily and orbital dynamics using specific observations,in this era this is compensated by a small group who are opposed to the actual discoveries of Copernicus in refusing to accept the partitioning of the resolution for apparent retrogrades as seen from a moving Earth.

In this nightmare world where the worst convictions have the attention of the wider population there is always this explanation which relieves the stress on axial inclination and daily rotation as the sole motion to account for the seasons.

The Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun whereas Uranus is 1800 million miles so that when we look out at Uranus we may as well be looking at it from the central Sun so distant is that planet. What we see is a planet that appears to have the very motion described as axial precession as it completes its 8 decade orbit of the Sun -

The Earth would have the exact same motion if it were seen from the Sun but unfortunately that turning of the polar coordinates to the central Sun is presently taken up by the notion axial precession -

The North/South poles are like a glimpse behind the curtain for the fact that all locations on Earth turn once to the Sun aside from and in addition to the daily rotational cycle. Any enterprising individual who can use their imagination to consider what the Earth looks like as viewed from the Sun would see this view at the March Equinox -

As the Earth moves in the direction of its orbital motion it turns to the central Sun hence the polar coordinates turn in a circle and parallel to the ecliptic Equator. The old tilt towards and away from the Sun is from a different era as it blocks out the use of inclination to define planetary climate within a spectrum.
