Jungner emphasises (1) the earth’s orbit and other astronomical phenomena will continue affecting the earth’s long term climate. The research focuses on the effect of the distance between the sun and the earth on the earth’s long term climate. The research focuses on the relationship between the distance between the moon and the sun on the earth’s long term climate.
The study includes the relationship of the sun’s temperature on the earth’s long term climate. The research includes the relationship of the tilt in the earth’s axis on varying long term climate situations. The earth’s long term climate is affected by the earth’s orbit, sun, moon and other astronomical phenomena.
The same author proposes the variations in the earth’s orbit and the diverse positions of the earth in relation to the sun triggers varying cycles of solar energy.
Further, the earth’s climate is divided into four seasons. The varying degrees of solar energy hitting the earth’s surface influence the four seasons; the tilting of the earth’s axis triggers long term climate change. During the winter months, the nation is under a blanket of snow. During the summer months, the nation is under the hot summer sun. On other months, the autumn leaves start to fall.
In addition, the elliptical orbit of the earth creates climate changes. The varying distances between the sun and the earth during different times of the year generate different climate conditions. Daniel Shepardson (85301) theorised the current distance between the earth and the sun is between 147 million kilometers to 152 kilometers. The distance falls under the eccentricity orbit theory. The earth’s climate is hottest when the sun if nearest the earth. On the other hand, the earth’s climate is coolest when the sun is farthest from the earth.
Further, Shepardson (85301) opined the location of each nation creates unique climate variances when compared to the climate in other nations located around the world. The earth’s orbit does not cause winter nights in places dominated by hot arid deserts. There are places on earth where people have not felt the freezing snow climate. The tilt of the earth’s axis causes varying degrees of summer heat. The same tilt triggers diverse freezing conditions.
For example, the northern hemisphere winters are milder and the summers are normal. On the other hand, the Southern hemisphere communities experience colder winters and hotter summers. The changes in the sun’s heat temperature produce changes in the earth’s climate. A hotter sun temperature increases the earth’s temperature. A colder sun temperature precipitates to a lower earth temperature.
Knudsen theorizes (261) the moon’s orbit and location affects the earth’s weather. The high tides and low tides are caused by the moon’s gravitational pull on the earths’ waters. The waves affect the climate of the earth. The change in the tides may cause tidal waves and other erratic wave movements. Consequently, the wave movements affect the climate. The 1,800 year ocean tide cycle clearly influences the earth’s climate.
Based on the above discussion, the earth’s long term climate significantly influences by the earth’s orbit, sun, moon and other astronomical phenomena. The sun’s distance from the earth significantly influences the earth’s climate. The moon’s distance from the earth influences the earth’s climate. The temperature of the sun materially affects the earth’s climate. The tilt of the earth’s axis creates diverse climates. Indeed, the earth’s orbit and other astronomical phenomena will continue influencing the earth’s long term climate.
