Then the Summer Solstis is traditionaly the LONGEST day of the year and so as it takes place at the begining of summer (for those here in the Northern Hemisphere) than the days would logically get SHORTER as we head toward the winter (thru the summer) and conversly as the winter solstis is traditionally the shortest day of the year, and it takes place at the begining of winter, then the days MUST be getting LONGER thru the winter.




Uhmm... OK, I'll give you that. On that note, since the Earth orbits the Sun on an elliptical path as do the other planets, apparently about 7% more solar radiation reaches the Earth's surface in January than in July... not that you'd think so!! Must be another Southern Hemisphere thing...
