Well, sure, the northern latitudes get a lot more sunshine in the
summer and a lot less sunshine in the winter, and this accounts for
the seasonal temperature variations.
Why do you suppose this is the case? Could it be that the northern
hemisphere tilts towards the sun in the summer and away from it in the
winter? This tilt is not variable, by the way, it just seems that way
because the earth has moved halfway around in its orbit.
Having worked in Northern Norway you certainly must have noticed that
the sun was high in the sky in summer and low in the winter. Why, if I
didn't know any better, I might think it was actually wandering around
up there. If I mapped the spot in the sky where the sun was located
each day at noon, after a year, what kind of pattern do you suppose
would emerge on that map? Is the high summer sun and low winter sun in
Norway some kind of hoax?
It is too bad that you are so unteachable, there are a lot of really
smart guys on this forum, and you have much to learn.
