Jesus just type F/C each time. Don’t find a new way to phrase their comparison for every mention of temperature.
how is it the middle of winter?
There are more places around the world than just your mobile park.
lmao
I’m just busting your balls. But seriously, stay in school kids.
Yeah fr, I had no idea about the axial tilt stuff. Wild
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?
lol, relax
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.
Certified science moment
One of the great minds of our time.
got my PHD at ligma university
Tilt of the axis.
Winter is June-August and August 4th falls somewhat in the middle of that timeframe.
Hang on, it actually gets colder there during June-August? That’s wild
Well shit. You blew me.
Winter in Brazil usually take place from June to September. Winter differs from summer with the high quantity of rains only.
Winter usually differs from summer with the high quantity of rains only.
Oh hey, same for Israel.
And basically all tropical, arid, and temperate climates.
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.
Southern hemisphere
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.
Yes, they fucking are. For reference, here’s a picture of where the tropics end, note how the Tropic of Capricorn is south of the vast majority of the high heat area in the image.
Notice how Argentina isn’t even on that map, and most of Chile isn’t either?
You do realize that both Chile and Argentina aren’t in the image, right?
This certainly raises concern if oscillating temperatures can cause heat spikes in winter. That’s gotta have all kinds of wild knock on effects.
