Day length

Day length, Contrary to popular belief, the cycle of the seasons„that is, the periodic change of climate over the months„is due not to EarthÍs distance from the Sun, but to its inclination: our planetÍs axis of rotation leans about 23.5 degrees in relation to the ecliptic (the path of EarthÍs orbit). This inclination is directly responsible for the variation in sunshine hours, and thus the succession of seasons, throughout the year.
