Al-Sadoun told Thursday at the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the Earth's orbit around the sun was about 147 million kilometers, which is elliptical and not circular because from the attraction of the moon and large planets such as Jupiter and Saturn.
He said that on July 4 and that the sun at the farthest point of the Earth, says Apogee, would be 152 million kilometers, or about 5 million kilometers after the sun of that day, after the day of the first July (Apogee).
He explained that "due to the power of attraction of the sun and the moon, especially those at the end of the month will be badociated with the so-called" pregnancy of the head, the period of the last days of the lunar month and several days of the following month ", the tide is at the highest altitude and the lowest decline of the year.
And the question of some why not increase the temperature of the Earth as long as it gets closer to the sun in this period reported that there was a rise but not noticeable, especially as the sun in this period perpendicular to the length of Capricorn south of the equator.
Al-Saadoun added that the sun is also sloping and not vertical over the northern half of the globe, so its rays are less hot, which is why the northern hemisphere is cooler in the winter.
He pointed out that in Kuwait, the sun was rising 38 degrees from the horizon line compared to summer, when it reached 88 degrees. (End) d / h
