Why December Has The Longest Days
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Subscribe to MinutePhysics! December has the longest solar days (noon-to-noon) because of the weird way a combination of the axial tilt of the earth and the eccentricity of its elliptical orbit conspire in December. Perihelion + Solstices = Long Days. Here’s some more info about: Solar Time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_time The Equation of Time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time Milankovitch cycles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles Perihelion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perihelion_and_aphelion Apsis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsis Link to Patreon supporters here: www.minutephysics.com/supporters.html Music by Nathaniel Schroeder, http://www.soundcloud.com/drschroeder MinutePhysics is on Google+ - http://bit.ly/qzEwc6 And facebook - http://facebook.com/minutephysics And twitter - @minutephysics Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!
