| Friday 19 Jun 2009: Summers are shorter Down Under |
| Summer on the Southern hemisphere lasts shorter than on the Northern hemisphere. Around December "the sun moves faster", because the earth is closer to the sun (see FFF for 04-07-2008), and it has a higher velocity. As a result, the period between the spring and autumn equinox (21 March and 22 September up North) is 185 days, whereas it's 180 days Down Under. |
