As the orbit elongates we experience greater variation in distance from the sun. At the extremes, we get colder winters and hotter summers.
Perhaps another explanation for climate change.
- thaumasiotes 8y agoWhy would more eccentricity lead to colder winters and hotter summers in each hemisphere? How would that work?
- LoSboccacc 8y agoyeah makes little sense since the earth is closer to the sun in january. if anything higher eccentricity should reduce seasonal differences. (seasonal differences being driven mostly by earth tilt, not distance from sun)
