Best position for a vegetable patch
In article , Martin Sykes
writes Northern England is 'darker' than Southern England in winter. It's also darker in summer and any other time of year. It's darker because the sun is lower in the sky and so hits the ground more obliquely which means there is less energy from the sun per square metre. During our summer, we get more sun relative to the southern *hemisphere* because of the angle of the earth's axis relative to its orbit, but because Britain isn't near the equator, it all gets sunnier at the same time during summer and darker at the same time during winter. Eh? So why in summer is sunset later in scotland compared to SW? And because Northern Britain is further from the equator than Southern Britain, it's always darker up north :-( -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
