January is colder than July because the Earth is located farther from the Sun in January. True O False
The earth revolves around the sun in exactly 365 1/4 days which is equivalent to 1 year. To make up for the loss of 1/4 day, the calendar was adjusted so that we have a leap year for every 4 years. If the earth were to speed in its motion slightly so that a year would be completed in exactly 365 days and 6 hours, how often would we need to have a leap year?
2) Calculate the difference in the geostationary altitude ( in km ) by by using solar day (24 hrs) and sidereal day (23hrs 56mins and 41 secs) 129.768 64.884 32.442 1000
