YSK to wear sunscreen during Indian summer because the Earth is getting closer to the Sun in the Fall.
YSK to wear sunscreen during Indian summer! This is bc the earth is closest to the sun in January and farthest away from the sun in June. Although the days feel cooler and get shorter in Sept and Oct as the northern hemisphere of Earth tilts away from the Sun heading into the winter solstice, overall the Earth is getting ever closer to the Sun, this means it's easy to get an unexpected sunburn in the early northern Fall. We'll be 5M Km closer in January than in June. The fact that the two effects cancel each other out, the tilt away when close, tilt toward when far away, is why the Northern hemisphere is so much more temperate overall than the Southern Hemisphere. The fact that the Southern Hemisphere tilts toward the Sun while it is also closest to the Sun goes a long way to explaining why everybody down South is so tan! http://ift.tt/2jzmxXH
