1 year is NOT one full circle around the sun.

It is one AND like 1/8

If you get to 90 years old, that means you traveled around the sun over 100 times not 90.

Also the sun doesnt shine from the same side every summer.. every year the summer gets sun from a different side (its always a little bit more to the right)

If the summer is when the earth is between the sun and the center of our galaxy then in a couple of years it will be the sun that will be in between the earth and the center of the galaxy during the summer, being earth closer to the end of our galaxy.

Not only the earth but also its orbit itself rotates around the sun, moving the summer time all around the sun as well, this due to the gravity of bigger planets in our solar system that attract earth.

Also earths orbit is not horizontal, it moves up and down, sometimes the summer is hotter on the south hemisphere of the globe, sometimes its cooler (sometimes = every tons of years)

I'd love to know your source.

Why dont you just google? Its of your own interest.

This is what happens:

Google told me not to feed the trolls.

So you come into my thread:

- dont believe me calling me a liar
- dont put up any effort in finding out more being of your own interest
- dont say anything valuabe that contributes to a discussion
- make me draw an image on paintbrush to explain it to you
- and in the end you call a troll

You got some serious issues.

If your assertion is correct the winter solstice would have over a month of variance every year.

No, the calender is made so that 21st december for example hits always the same place on the orbit.
Thats why winter is always during the same time of the year.

The image I posted is wrong in terms of orbit rotation, it doesnt roate 90 degrees in one year, it rotates 1/8 or so (i would have to check this up to be precise) just get the meaning.

pmed.

never mind
