Yes, you are correct here: the boundary between day and night, the
terminator, is a great circle on the Earth (approximating by
neglecting atmospheric bending of light).

And it is not connected with the Equation of Time, which operates
equally well on the Equator.


The Equation of Time is a human construct based on equalising the
determination of natural noon cycle to an average 24 hour cycle
therefore it is a clear indicator of the longitudinal change in the
solar radiation/orbital shadow boundary.That change is indeed
connected to the Equation of Time for the neccessity of the Equation
represents the variations in the length of time it takes the axial
cycle to return to noon for any given location on Earth.

Because your kind believes that a location rotates to face the Sun in
24 hours exactly in order to justify axial rotation to 23 hours 56
minutes 04 seconds as per the 'sidereal time' hoax you keep the Earth
keeping its same face to the Sun throughout an annual orbital cycle in
direct conflict with what occurs with observations on other
planets.The extreme rotational orientation of Uranus provides the
neccessary information to apply to the fact that the Earth's orbital
orientation does not keep the same face towards the Sun -

So,the price of your astrological geometry ,and let me remind you it
is promoted by Nasa,is very expensive considering that for all the
polished reputations now commenting on the complex topic of
climatology,not one can correctly identify the correct way to approach
global climate and hemispherical weather patterns (seasons) via the
axial and orbital motions of the Earth.

Let me know when responsible people have grasped how the latitudinal
and longitudinal change in the solar radaition/orbital shadow
boundary,due to the orbital motion of the Earth in the reason for the
Equation of Time correction and for the change in seasons and daylight/
darkness asymmetry above above and below the Equator.

Of course,I have to remind you that you have still to acknowledge that
the cretinous view which does not recognise the variations in the
natural noon cycle still prevails -

" There ARE 24 hours in a "solar day". This is the time it takes from
one noon (sun overhead) to the next noon. The difference in the two
"days" arises from the fact that during a day the Earth also travels
nearly a degree further on its yearly trek around the Sun."

Could you please contact your peers in Nasa and tell them just how
stupid they are or do you wish me to continue to highlight their
idiocy publically.




And you are even correct that it would be ridiculous to have the Earth
tilt backwards and forwards once a year. But that latter is *not* what
conventional astronomers say happens. Rather, they say that the Earth
is always tilted the same way - compared to the Ecliptic, the plane of
its orbit around the Sun - and in the summer, its tilt points the
North Pole towards the Sun, and in the winter, a tilt in the same
direction - pointing the North Pole unchangingly towards the star
Polaris - now points the North Pole away from the Sun, because the
Earth, that revolves around the Sun once a year, is now on the
opposite side of the Sun.

If I am driving a car in a traffic circle, as my car goes around the
circle, it always faces forwards, so it faces in different directions
depending on the part of the circle I am in. But while I steered the
car to make it revolve in the circle, I did not in addition do
something separate to make it turn which way it is facing. In that
sense, one can say that the Earth's rotation is once every 24 hours,
since that is the rotation in excess of the change in direction the
Earth would face that is implied by its revolution. Thus, when it was
believed that Mercury always had one side facing the Sun, which was
very hot, and another side in perpetual darkness, that could be viewed
as Mercury *not* rotating, instead of, as astronomy tables showed it,
rotating once every 88 days, its year.

But if this is your objection to the 23 hour and 56 minute and 4
second sidereal period, it is just a semantic quibble about the
meaning of the term "rotation". If your objection is more substantive,
you are advocating the theory of Tycho Brahe.
