Re: Mathmatical Question on Earths Axis
Okay guys, the revolving of the earth will remain the same except when time is adjusted after so many years by a milla second or two.<br /><br />To my understanding the axis stays the same as we orbit around the sun. This gives us the seasonal changes. Now if the axis tilts more, we then are subject to be colder during the winter and warmer during summer. <br /><br />Like this time of year right now. In my town the trees just have begun to bud while trees in the Carolinas have full pledge leaves. The degree of tilt does have an influence on how early or seasons start or end due to this. This cannot be changed by mankind.<br /><br />GQ, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. A while back I had seen on the Learning Channel about the actual North Pole shifting southward a few inches each year. That doesn't seem much when you are on the pole, but if you were on the equator, that could put up further north or south depending on which cycle of the orbit the earth is on.<br /><br />Is it not possible that this occurance could account for some of the global warming scenerio?<br /><br />Then to top this idea off, if the orbit around the sun differs from its previous orbit, this also could mean colder/warmer climate. If the earth was mechanically connected to the sun keeping or distance the same during each orbit, our weather would be more consistant each year.<br /><br />These are my lines of thinking that global warming is part of nature. I also agree that maybe some of the things we humans do has some effect, but just about as much a putting a teaspoon of food coloring in the ocean.<br /><br />If there was records for the location of the poles in the past thousands of years, then this thought could explain many of mother earths occurances. There are scientests that does agree that our axis does wobble on its orbit.<br /><br />SBN, would you please call your little alien buddies and call muster? One has got loose and will not leave. He is driving me nuts trying to explain this stuff to me. It is interferring with more important things like my boat.
<br /><br />BTW, Good to see ya posting Sloopy! How is school going for the Dock Boy. Gee wiz, when you finish school, I think they otta make you a Harbor Master!
