But why is the tilt of the axis related to the yearly orbit?

 

Poor Squidly, all he wanted was pictures of hot chicks in bikinis and here we are gettin' all geeky on his thread. Poooooor Squidly.

Let me fill you in on another neat fact: The sun is the hottiest planet in the solar system, and if you were to touch it, it would burn you.

 

What if you touched it at night though? Does it cool off enough by, say, 4am?

speaking of dirt... this song, more than any other, speaks the word "summer" to me.

So what, now you're saying we have 10 planets in our solar system? And it's a fact?

The earth's orbit around the sun is elliptical. The close point is approximately during winter in the northern hemisphere. Since most people who post here reside in the northern hemisphere, the correct answer is "B".

The link you left was great. thumbs_up.gif But it still seems a strange coincedence that the annual periphelion matches so closely to the annual axis-tilt (seasonal) cycle, and the article doesn't really get into the physics. If I were to guess, I would say it is some astro-gyroscopic formula. Like spinning a top and watching the way it's tilt cycle and wobbles match the circle it paints on the floor? This could also explain why the moon's rotation almost exactly matches it's orbit around Earth? (Hence, why we never see the "dark" side of the moon.)

 

Any physicists out there?

Mr. Cash,

You are wrong because the question doesn't specify winter or summer solstice. If we assume the question is about the Northern hemisphere's summer solstice and "getting closer to the solstice" means after January and before June 21, then you are right, the answer is B.

Fairweather, your post sounds like you think the tilt of the earth changes?

 

The moon stays with one side to us because of earths gravity

 

jmace. What the fuck are you talking about? confused.gif Are you just pretending to be a complete moron?

 

Actually, I was hoping the gravity this weekend at Squamish would act on your scrawny form in a bad way. Just run along, pest, before someone drops a house on you.

you guys are both fucking morons... the earth's tilt does change... it just takes a reeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllly long time to do so.
