Do temperatures vary more in the sourthern hemisphere?
https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstu...-earth-58.html "How Does Earth Move? Earth orbits the sun once every 365 days, or one year. The shape of its orbit is not quite a perfect circle. It's more like an oval, which causes Earth's distance from the sun to vary during the year. Earth is nearest the sun, or at "perihelion," in January when it's about 91 million miles away. Earth is farthest from the sun, or at "aphelion," in July when it's about 95 million miles away." So, note that the sun is farther from the earth in July, so how come it's not colder then. Well, in the north, the sun hits the earth more directly, so the earth gets more rays per acre. So the two factors compensate for each other. But doesn't that mean that in the southern hemisphere, when it's the suns rays are hitting the earth obliquely and it's colder because of that, it's also farther from the sun, so it's colder because of that too. So the two factors reinforce each other. That is, doesn't that mean the difference between summer and winter temperatures are greater in the southern hemisphere than the northern? "Why Does Earth Have Seasons? Earth has seasons because its axis is tilted. Thus, the sun's rays hit different parts of the planet more directly depending on the time of year. From June to August, the sun's rays hit the Northern Hemisphere more directly than the Southern Hemisphere. The result is warm (summer) weather in the Northern Hemisphere and cold (winter) weather in the Southern Hemisphere." |

I suppose the potential is there but the northern hemisphere has vastly more land in the higher latitudes where the weather swings the most. That is not true in the Southern Hemisphere. Bring up google earth and center the south pole in the circle. Then do the same with the northern hemisphere. You find out pretty quickly that as soon as you get outside the arctic circle, the southern hemisphere is mostly ocean that will moderate the temperature and the northern hemisphere is mostly land. Temperature can go nuts over land. Fairbanks Alaska is a great example. It is in the middle of a big land mass and the temperature swings from almost 100 in the summer to 50 below in the winter. (It was 99 in Fairbanks when we got off the plane in late June on our trip, hotter than it was in Ft Myers Fla when we left) |

It was like "don't bother reading it, we'll interpret it for you" Yeah, sure, thanks. That wasn't the worst thing in the world considering the crap semi-literate self-ordained preachers have extracted from it. Growing up we had a bible in the house and thought it would be a good idea to read it. Two pages was enough. I had an aunt on the Protestant side of the family who was considered to be a religious nutter. She had a prominently displayed bible in the living room. Being a kid who would read a ketchup label if there was nothing else around, I gave it a whirl. I may have made it to three pages... I never have read the complete OT. I did make it through 'Good News for Modern Man' in boot camp. Like I said, I'll read anything and once through the Green Book I'd gathered which way a Claymore should be pointed and needed fresh material. So, what did I learn from 12 years of Catholic school education? Use your church envelope. I was subjected to 'religious instruction' for a total of six years or so. I was off to a good start when Sister Mary Elephant asked me to recite one of the Commandments. It quickly became apparent I didn't even know there were 10 commandments let alone being familiar with a particular one. She branded me a Heathen. I still am. I did catch the movie when it came out a couple of years later. The high point was the nun using Necco wafers for the First Communion practice. She did impress on us we weren't supposed to chew the real thing. I was sad to learn of the demise of Necco. I used to walk by the plant on Mass Ave. in Cambridge and can understand why the new owners found 'sanitation issues'. I did revisit the topic in my 30's. There are enough intelligent devout Catholics that I thought re-examination was worthwhile. Still not for me although I have more respect for the Catholic Church than the Church of God with Signs Following. https://ferrebeekeeper.wordpress.com...gns-following/ Like I said, letting people read the bible isn't necessarily a good thing. We won't even go into the inbred nutters at Westboro Baptist. |

That means I am not offended if they put up a creche in the park. If there is a disappointing thing about Christianity it is, after preserving Western culture for over a thousand years, many are capitulating to political correctness. The Jul season is pleasant; after all they stole almost everything from the Old Religion. 'Tree of Salvation: Yggdrasil and the Cross in the North' by G. Ronald Murphy S.J. goes into quite a bit of detail. He has also written two books on the Heliand, an adaptation of the gospels in Old Saxon that was edited to make it more appealing to the target audience. Jesus is the drighten of a small band of warriors. Christmas is a marketing event with a lot of phony sentiment and unreasonable expectations. If I want to give someone a gift. I will do it when they need it, not just because some pagan solstice celebration happened a couple days before. If History is as accurate as passed down legends Jesus was probably born in the summer and not on year zero ... or is that year one? AD or BC? |
