I actually researched ...Thanks for the explanation! I actually researched the whole seasons thing when you challenge it back several blogs ago. I have always been fascinated with astronomy and the workings of the earth as a planet, but I have also always struggled with assimilating the information. Diagrams help. Models help more. ;-)<BR/><BR/>It is fascinating to experience the lengthening and shortening of the days firsthand. I moved from Texas to Oregon several years back, and I never noticed the change in the length of day much in Texas. But in Oregon, it is unavoidable. In summer, we have sunlight as late as nine at night. And in winter, it's dark by 4:30. I always learned that I wake much better to sunlight. I woke to it almost every morning in Texas. I have the hardest time getting up in the winter months in the northwest. I got a sunlight similating alarm clock to help (and it really does). <BR/><BR/>Thanks again!<BR/>RisC.
