No, the best way to do that would be to post acceptable ideas. And
there's no sign that's going to happen!

Here you go Chris,even you should get the idea that seasonal changes
are due to the way the Earth orbits the Sun -

Axial rotation generates rotational orientation/tilt and does nothing
else so you cannot say that Uranus tilts through a full 360 degrees
with respect to the Sun over an annual orbit ,what you conclude is
that as a location turns through 360 degrees with respect to the
central Sun as part of its orbital motion and leave axial rotation
and orientation seperate.Then you go on to appreciate why there are
enormous hemispherical variations in daylight/darkness on Uranus
while the Earth it is less so,the principles are the same for both.

So Chris,if a teenager asks you a question relating to how a planet
orbits the Sun,like a car circling a traffic island or like a
crankshaft where the pin is constant changing to the central shaft at
least you know the answer now.It is a shame that NOAA would allow this
new perspective to drift but that is beyond my control.
