...position (i) at the vernal equinox, and in position (3) at the autumnal equinox. At intermediate positions the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic causes all the parallels of latitude on the earth, except the equator, to be cut equally by the boundary-line...

...all the branches of molecular physics, but also with astronomy, since climatic rhythms depend upon the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic, and more remotely upon the variations in that inclination known as precession and nutation. It is for...

...the libratory motion of the earth's axis. "As this appearance of 7 Draconis indicated a diminution of the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic," he says; "and as several astronomers have supposed that inclination to diminish regularly; if this...

...primary importance to the inhabitants of North America is the fact that the climatic belts determined by the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic are subject to annual migration towards the north and south. In the torrid zone the equatorial belt...

...that auroral displays are more frequent before midnight than afterwards. If we consider the effect of the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic, we shall see that the effect of the recession of either pole from the sun will be to increase the number...

...subject have never been sufficiently considered. As due to the so-called " preceision of the equinoxes," the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic is completely reversed during every period of 12,500 years, or half the period of an entire circle...

...proportional to the square of the distance from the sun. Seasonal Variation with Latitude. — Because of the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic and, further, because this axis always remains parallel to itself as the earth revolves around the...
