The Sun's Light.

In the lab that we did today, i learned how the sun's light applies to the Earth. My parents told me the same thing that i learned in the lab today when i was younger, though. I knew that it was colder in the winter because the Sun's light was at an angle from the Earth being on an axis. When the Earth rotates on an angle, the Sun only hits it on an angle.

One thing that i learned today, though, was that when the Sun's light IS at an angle, it spreads over more land. Which explains day light savings and such. When the Earth's angle changes because of the axis, it rotates between the area being lit. The Earth's axis isn't straight, its tilted to one side but not side ways from the Sun.

This lab applied to us because it effects everyone. Unless you're constantly traveling and following the Sun, this applies to you. Right now, seeing as it's winter, the Earth's axis is tilting us away from the Sun. Making us, in turn, get the Sun on an angle. Covering more land, but with less intensity and heat.
