"Six Items a Day of Enduring Insignificance"
------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Welcome to Spring! Today is the Vernal Equinox, which means
today the day and night are almost exactly equal (give or
take a couple minutes). From now on the days will be longer
than the nights until the longest day of the year on the
Summer Solstice on June 20th.
Don't know what all that means? Scroll down to find out why
that's important to you and me.
Enjoy!

RANDOM TIDBITS
The Earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital
plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the Earth's
axis points towards the Sun during its orbit, it is summer
for that hemisphere. When the Earth's axis points away, you
get winter. Midway between these two times, in spring and
autumn, the spin axis of the Earth points 90 degrees away
from the Sun.
***
The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, but the change in distance
of the Earth to the Sun has a very minor effect on the
planet's temperature.
***
The Earth reaches the point in its orbit closest to the Sun
in January, and it reaches the point farthest from the Sun
six months later. If that were all that governed weather,
we'd have summer in January, and Winter in July!
