There are actual images of the Earth from space which show a more
complicated explanation for variations in daylight/darkness throughout the year - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwTrYVBcx9s The present explanations using graphics from Solstice to Equinox based on variable 'axial tilt' are almost monstrous where the rotational orientation of the Earth 'straightens' up to split the circle of illumination - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taHTA...eature=related It is absolutely disconcerting to come across a people calling themselves astronomers who can'y adjust to information pouring in from images of Uranus and the Earth from space,animation and graphics to demonstrate how a location will behave orbitally as it orbits the Sun and quite apart from axial rotation. All these fine people working on climate modelling and it is useless if they can't even explain variations in daylight/darkness let alone the seasonal weather patterns attached to them.I have no idea what is needed to break this drowsy condition where nothing is being done,not for any sake of urgency but that the actual explanation for the seasons is absolutely enjoyable after a small initial effort. It is a 100% geometric certainty that a location on Earth turns through 360 degrees with respect to the central Sun over the course of an annual orbit and replacing the pseudo-dynamic of variable tilt and its absence of any 360 degree feature.If this modification of Copernican reasoning does not happen then astronomy is truly finished for generations . |
