A Private Universe

Despite a lifetime of the best education, many people still fail to understand basic concepts of the world. The topic of the seasons it taught to everyone in starting in elementary school.

1. The seasons are caused by the earth's orbital rotation away from the sun. As we rotate further away from the sun we have winter and as we get closer to the sun, we have summer.

• What really causes the seasons is the Earth's tilt, not the distance.

2. Indirect light is when the sun's rays are reflecting.
    Direct light is when the sun's rays are hitting the Earth directly.

• Indirect light- When the sun's rays are hitting the Earth at an angle.
• Direct light- When the suns' rays are hitting the Earth directly.
