The World OF Nature
BY John M. Frazier

the earth. While the rays in the
Northern hemisphere make a
small angle, those in the southern
hemisphere are more nearly per-
pendicular. The slanting rays can
not yield as much heat as the di-
rect ones do.
Now the question arises, what
causes the angle of the suns rays
to change from season to season.
There are two factors that cause
this phenomenon. First, the earth
is turned at an angle of 2312 de-
grees to the plane of its orbit, and
second, the axis of the earth
points constantly toward the pole
star, PolariS, while making its
annual journey around the sun.
With these characteristics fixed,
when the earth is directly south
of the sun, the North pole is turn
ed toward it. When the earth is
directly north of the sun, the
South pole is inclined toward it.
At the equinoxes, the north and
the south poles are equi-distant.
Thus, as the earth journeys
around the sun each year, the
angle of the sun will change 23R
degrees between the summer SOL
stice and the aUtumnal equinox
plus the 23l2 degrees from this

The Coming of Winter

december is noted for its joy
Gus celebration of the birth of
christ. But before this happy hol-
lday season arrives, the winter
season begins. This is an astro-
nomical event which attracts lit
tie attention generally, zut it is
q significant change in the me-
chanics of the solar system, and
consequently our seasons.
The day of the beginning of
winter in. the Northern hemi-
sphere is called the winter sol
stice. This year we reach it at 800
pm. est on 81 December. AT
noon on that date the sun rides
lowest in the southern sky. Like
wise, il rises farthest south on the
eastern horizon and sets farthest
south on the western horizon. AT
this day and hour the sun stands
over the imaginary line around
the earth known as the Tropic OF
Capricorn.
Cause Of Winter
We have winter between the
winter solstice and the vernal
equinox in March. This season is
cold because of the reduced angle
at which the suns rays strike US
and the consequent loss of heat on
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1956-12-13

the orbit we reach aphelion or the
greatest distance from the sun on
or about 2 July and the summer
solstice on or about 81 June.
The fact that greatest and near
est distances from the sun do not
arrive at the same time as the
solstices seems to have little if
any effect on the lag of the Win
ter season.
Seasonal Lag
While the sun begins its an
nual journey Northward immedi-
ately after the solstice,, its change
is scarcely noticed for some weeks
either on the horizon or position
at noon. The coolest day of the
year is usually four to eight
weeks after the winter solstice. 1t
should be noted that the earth is
moving fastest in its orbit around
the sun at this time, but still the
screw-like apparent rate of change
seems slow and there is no rapid
build-up of heat, consequently it
is cold.
AT the summer solstice and
Aphelion we have relatively the
same situation except for the
higher position of the sun and the
hot weather instead of cold. Here
again is the lag in weather. Sum
mer solstice on 81 June and Aphe-
lion on 2 July are rarely the hot
test days of the year. There is the
accumulation of heat energy
which builds up day after day for
several weeks which causes sum-
mer heat. The slower movement
