Put in another way, when you watch the Sun either coming up above the horizon at sunrise, or going down below the horizon at sunset, you are looking at an illusion — the Sun is not really there, but already below the horizon. As a result, we actually end up seeing the Sun for a few minutes before its disc actually rises and for a few minutes after it has actually set.
Thus, thanks to atmospheric refraction, the length of daylight on any given day is increased by approximately six or seven minutes. Since the seasons are defined as beginning at strict degree intervals, these positional changes affect the time the earth reaches each degree location in its orbit around the sun. Second, the pull of gravity from the other planets also affects the location of Earth in its orbit. As you can see, the warm seasons, spring and summer, combined are 7.
However, spring is currently being reduced by approximately one minute per year and winter by about one-half a minute per year. Summer is gaining the minute lost from spring, and autumn is gaining the half a minute lost from winter. Winter is the shortest astronomical season, and with its seasonal duration continuing to decrease, it is expected to attain its minimum value — We are 3.
That means during cold months, when we are closest to the Sun, we are sweeping fastest through our orbit in space. Be sure to check our spring forecast. Moon Phase Calendar. What Does Vernal Equinox Mean?
