December Tip

Note the cold spots are not along the geographic line from the N. Pole to the S. Pole but where the globe, tilted and tipped, is getting the least amount of sunshine! Depending on the tipping and what part of the globe is getting sunlight, the coldest spot is not the geographic N. Pole, but that part of the globe that gets less sunlight. On the weather maps below, the Italy Face makes Russia, not Sweden, receive less sunlight as Sweden is tilted toward the Sun. The Americas Face makes the areas NW of Hudson Bay, not the N. Pole, receive less sunlight as this part receives a shorter day as it is pushed into an early sunset during the tilt swing. The New Zealand face shows an uneven distribution of cold along latitude 60° as the globe is pushed up and away from the Sun over New Zeland. This is then pulled forward over the India Face for warmer temperatures North of Mongolia. The weather maps, and the verbal descriptions, match.
