THE THERMAL SOLSTICE The 26th of January will be the thermal solstice of the northern I hemisphere. This day on the average will be the coldest day of winter. This does not, of course, mean | that it will be the coldest day in any particular place but. considering the hemisphere as a whole, winter comes to its nadir at this time. The sun reached its most south-j ern point on the 22nd day of last December. It is always an occasion of surprise to some to realize that the coldest weather does not come when the sun Is farthest south but five weeks later, after I the sun has begun a definite northerly movement. The reason for this lies in the nature of the earth’s all Air is sluggish in losing heat and gaining it. All during the! last months of the year the sun was moving south and its rays fell : ever more and more slantingly, and with less heating power. After I the sun reverses its trend, the air goes on losing heat for five weeks until finally the increased heat which the sun puts into the air re-1 verses this losing trend. Then the days begin to grow warmer. The sun's point farthest south i» ; called the Tropic of Capricorn, as established in the days or uncie.o i Egypt, but even the most casual inspection of the sky will show that the sun now goes farthesouth than the constellation of Capricorn, it goes to Sagittarius. At the end of January, when th« J sun is in the constellation ot Capricorn, it is well on its way toward the north again The reason for this lies in the phenomenon known as the precession of the equinox. The earth's equator is in slow rotation about the sky. making one complete turn every 26,000 years. Every year the position of the sun at the winter solstice is a little farther west than the year before. In the days of ancient Egypt the sun actually did reach its most southern point in the constellation of Capricorn. in January. Now the sun reaches its most southern position in the constellation of Sagittarius —in December. Two thousand years hence the sun will come to its most southern position in the constellation of Scorpio in November. The moon is the cause of the precession of the equinox. The moon drags on the equatorial bulge of the earth, causing the whole earth to move slowly, shifting the dates of all the seasons.
