    Jesus just type F/C each time. Don’t find a new way to phrase their comparison for every mention of temperature.

              Space is cool shit. Want to really get a new perspective?

              So, obviously we’re on earth. The moon goes around the earth, and earth goes around the sun, right?

              All the planets and the astroid belts, all moving around the sun. That’s our solar system.

              Pretty cut and dry. But it goes further than that. Our solar system doesn’t stay in one place. The entire thing, us the planets moons the sun, everything is going around the center of the galaxy too. We’re blasting through space right now.

              So you’re standing/sitting on a planet that’s spinning. While it’s spinning it’s traveling around the sun. While we’re traveling around the sun the sun itself is traveling around the galaxy dragging us with it.

              And then of course the galaxy isn’t stationary either. Other galaxies and clusters of galaxies are pulling it along too.

              Pretty cool shit

                Yeah, and on top of that, our galaxy is probably yeeting through space at some ungodly velocities around the Local Group.

                And on top of that, the Local Group is getting yeeted away from all the other galactic clusters in the (observable) universe at a speed that is, technically, faster than light.

              That’s elementary school level education stuff, I’m worried for you.

              Were you home schooled or are you 6 years old?

              It’s definitely one of those things that seems obvious once you think about it but not something you would necessarily come to on your own.

              Here’s another; an image of the moon from the southern hemisphere appears upside down compared to the moon you’re likely familiar with.

                The Moon thing does make sense. But I genuinely thought Earth’s orbit had more eccentricity than that, and didn’t know the rotational axis was that skewed.

        Winter usually differs from summer with the high quantity of rains only.

        Oh hey, same for Israel.

        Not usually. It happens every year! And also, that’s true only in the center and north. In the southeast and south it gets also way colder in winter. Not snow cold, but like 5°C or a bit less in some extreme occasions.

        While it is the southern hemisphere, almost all of the heat zone area shown here is within the tropics. The tropics do not have winter and summer as seasons.

          There are four seasons in most of the country: summer (December to February), autumn (March to May), winter (June to August), and spring (September to November).

          The tropics and the rain forest are not thw same thing.

          Chile, Argentina, and the southern portion of Brazil are not in the tropics of anything. Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and the Guyanas are partly in the tropics.

    This certainly raises concern if oscillating temperatures can cause heat spikes in winter. That’s gotta have all kinds of wild knock on effects.
