Yes, it has to do with the ellipticity of the earth's orbit, which
affects something called the equation of time.

The closer the earth is to perihelion, the faster it moves in its
orbit, making the Sun appear to traverse the sky more slowly.

Listen up because this is very important for climatological reasons
and besides,we can now view the Earth from space to verify the
accurate conception for why the Equation of Time exists and how to
get rid of that primitive pseudo-dynamic of variable axial tilt to
explain cyclical hemispherical weather patterns otherwise known as the
seasons.

If axial rotation did not exist and only the Earth's orbital motion
was occuring,a location on Earth would not hold its same face to the
Sun over the course of an annual orbit.It is very difficult to gauge
on Earth but the extreme axial orientation of the planet Uranus helps
to provide the explanation for what occurs to the Earth -

The reason that the natural noon cycles on Earth are unequal is due
to the change in the orbital orientation of the Earth as axial cycle
returns to noon,the variations have nothing to do with the Equatorial
orientation to the Sun but rather the variations in the length of time
it takes a longitudinal location to return to noon as it passes
through variations in orbital orientation.

Of course it is extremely important for climatological purposes but
none of you seem to take anything seriously beyond congratulating
yourselves on your magnification exercise.

The link I posted was incorrect insofar as it uses the extreme
rotational orientation of Uranus to highlight what occurs on Earth.

The same thing occurs on Earth as a location on the planet changes
its orbital orientation to the Sun over the course of an annual
cycle .The rate of change of orbital orientation and subsequently the
differing times it takes a location to rotate to noon provide the only
possible affirmation for Keplerian orbital geometry.

The equivalency of 1 degree of geographical seperation (terrestrial
longitudes) for 4 minutes of clock time making exactly 24 hours/360
degrees is an affirmation of both Copernican heliocentricity and
Keplerian orbital geometry and is one of the great jewels of Western
astronomy.

The fact that students will not be taught properly as they return to
school or rather be taught a phony conception which has an
astrological core is one of the great human tragedies insofar as no
authority exists to recognise the damage being done.
