To solstice or not to solstice

By the time you have opened this blog, you will have survived one full month of winter. With winter being 93.6490 days long, it can be said that we here in the southern hemisphere have exactly 63.6490 days of coolness left before spring waves her lovely wand at us. But if you want to get technical about it, you have to remember that the change of seasons is dependent on the degree that the sun shines upon the earth. You see, the rotation axis of the Earth is tilted over 23°. It follows that r(ε) is 0.45, which means that on a midwinter's day slightly less than half as much sunlight falls on a square meter of earth's surface than on a midsummer's day (ignoring the effects of the atmosphere). The orbit of the Earth has an eccentricity of 0.017. It follows that re is 0.94, which means that at aphelion about 94% as much sunlight hits the ground as at perihelion.

Or to DVD…

Now, if you have no idea what that means…. We don’t either, but one thing we do know is that mid-winter is approaching and that its time to snuggle up, get out your DVD’s and games, and stretch out under your warm winter blanket and relax.
