GARRETT P. SERVISS EXPLAINS
THE SUN AND EARTH'S AXIS
Perpetual Day in Northern Hemisphere Pos
sible If Axis Lay Differently

hemisphere and perpetual night
in the southern. If on the
other hand the axis lay at a
right angle to the direction OF
the sun, we should have no
change Of seasons. The sun
would always be vertical over
the equator, and day and night
would always be of equal length
everywhere on the earth.
The actual position of the
earth's axis is much nearer to
the second than to the first of
these two imaginary cases. In
stead OF lying at a right angle to
the sun, it is tipped away from
right angle by about 23h de-
grees. Consequently it lacks that
number of degrees to be square
to the direction Of the sun. But,
On the other hand, It Is 66h de-
grees from coincidence with the
direction of the sun, /. E., from
being parallel to the line joining
the centers of the sun and the
earth.
These relations become self
evident when we look at q dia-
gram. 1t will be understood that,
on the scale Of the drawing, the
size of the earth has to be enor-
mously exaggerated with refer
ence to it's distance from the sun.
1t should also be remembered
that the direction in space in
which the earth's axis lies re-
mains practically unchanged for
a human lifetime Though in 49,
900 years it does swing COM
pletely round, so that while the
north end of The axis leans
toward the sun, 235 degrees
from the vertical, in midsum-
mer, it leans by an equal amount
away from the sun six months
later, when the earth has moved
around to the other side Of it's
orbit.
At no time does the axis of the
earth either coincide in direction
with the direction of the sun or
lie flat" to that direction. And
there is no conclusive evidence
that it ever did or ever will as
sumo either of those position.
It is true that the inclination
of the axis, called the obliquity of
the ecliptic, does change slightly
in long periods of time, now be-
coming a little less and again a
little greater, but it has been
shown automatically that these
changes are limited to a narrow
range. In about $1,000 years, it
has been calculated, the obliquity
will have diminished one degree,
to its lowest point, after which
it will begin to increase again.
But the whole range of variation
never exceeds three degrees.

Of the earth does not lie in line

neither does it lie square" to

direction of the sun? 1t is the
direction of a straight line drawn
