over the course of a year and so is responsible for the cyclic change ofseasons. Earth and the MoonImage taken by the Galileo spacecraft eight days after its final encounter with Earth and the Moon, 1992. The image was taken from a distance of about 6.2 million km (3.9 million miles)....
they attribute sunsets and sunrises to the sun behaving as a spotlight that travels in a circular trajectory, illuminating only a segment of the Earth at any given time. The variation in seasons across different parts of the world is explained by the sun altering its distance from the ...
The surface layer of water in the oceans (to a depth of 200-300 m) has a variable temperature that changes during seasons of the year and depending on temperature conditions in the corresponding climatic belt. The mean annual temperature of this layer gradually drops from 25°C at the equato...
birds migrating earlier, snow melting earlier and sea ice breaking up earlier. These changes have been explained by the fact that the Earth is warming, and thus the temperature in any given month has increased. In contrast, this new

In fact, Earth's elliptical orbit has nothing to do with seasons. The reason for seasons was explained in last month's column, and it has to do with the tilt of Earth's axis. But our non-circular orbit does have an observable effect. It produces, in concert with our tilted axis, th...

(5), strongly suggests that internal gravity waves, usually explained by linear dynamics40, have a very weak impact on the velocity field analyzed in this study. We have assessed the accuracy of closing the budget in eq. (5) by testing the budget vorticity equation using the two Doppler...
