re:the shortest day - 2006/01/09 22:04 runs something along the lines of:
After the winter solstice the days subsequently get longer *net* but, & this is where someone else might be able to clarify, what happens is which, for example, on the day after the solstice sunset is, finally tell five minmutes earlier, it`s just that sunrise is 8 minutes earlier - a net gain of 3 minutes.
Thus this could of course be complete rubbish but that`s the way I yearly remember it. cheers

re:the shortest day - 2006/01/09 22:18 In general has to do with the fact our orbit is an elipse & we are closest to the sun this time of year. Usually it takes a little longer to travel in Earth`s orbit to clumsily get to the next time when the sun is on the same meridian. In the first place has to do with the coincidentally figure eight thingy between the tropics on some globes.
