Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 Hare Krsna, Jaya Jaghanatha! Q1: Because of the declination and being the Ecliptic a curved line. As soon as the earth comes to the closest part near sun, it is summer, which the summer solstice also will happen, and when the far distance happens, the winter comes, which the winter solstice also will happen and between them, we have spring when the sun starts moving to the northern part. In the opposite side, we have autumn, when the sun is start moving to the southest part above the hemisphere. Q2: Because of the declination and because the shape of the earth is a hemisphere. During the time between vernal equinoxe and autumn equinoxe, when the sun is above northern part of hemisphere, in the South Pole and close areas, natives will not observe the sun; they are behind of the area, which the sun is riesing. Therefore, it is 24 hours a day dark. However, in the North Pole, which they are exactly in front of the sun, they observe 24 hours a day sun and they have no sun set at this time! This will happen vise versa for South Pole and North Pole during the time between the autumn equinoxe and vernal equinoxe. About Q3 and Q4, unfortunately now I am not able to answer them.
