Winter & the Sun
Earth is closest to the sun in (the Northern Hemisphere’s) winter. Every January (the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere), Earth reaches perihelion, the point in its orbit that’s nearest to the sun. Despite some common misconceptions, the seasonal drop in temperature has nothing to do with the distance of our planet to the sun. Instead, it relates to the direction Earth’s axis is tilting, which is why the two hemispheres experience winter at different times of the year. Source: Mental Floss

The sun looks lovely against the snow. We see very little of it at this time of year, but when we do, being so low it dazzles our eyes.
It sure does. Snow can be so very beautiful. Love and hugs, Jackie. 🙂
Beautiful picture, Sandee💗 Granny likes the sun, but not when she drives in Winter, because she gets blinded very easily with that low-to-the-ground sun😎Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and week ahead to you, Zane and the kitties too🐾😽💞
That can happen. I drove from Lake Tahoe back to the valley some years ago and experienced the same thing. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
Winter’s beauty ALMOST makes you forget how COOOOOOOLD it is ! We expect an epic amount of snow this weekend……our view will be much like this we think. Stay cozy….
Love, Pam and Teddy
If you don’t have to go anywhere it’s fine. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to handsome Teddy. 🙂
The photo is just beautiful!
I love being in the snow, but am glad I don’t live in snow country. Scritches to Duke. 🙂
There’s something magical about the soft, low light of a winter sun.
Beautiful photo, Sandee!
I agree with you, Veronica. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
What a pretty picture that is. We actually got to see the sun here yesterday. It was super cold, like single digit cold but the sun made it nice.
We have lots of fog of late and the sun just hasn’t been able to burn it off. Happy day and rest of the week, Ann. 🙂
Love the winter photo and that facts about the “whys”. We know the sun is different because of how it comes in our office window in the winter.
I found this information amazing. Happy WW and rest of the week. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
Beautiful winter photo, and interesting information I wasn’t aware of. Happy Wednesday! Hugs!
I didn’t know this either, but it makes sense. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Eugenia. Hugs back. 🙂
It does make sense, Sandee! ❣️
Beautiful photo and information, Sandee. Thanks for the introduction to a new word too, “perihelion.” Nature is so amazing; its movements in contrast to one’s expectations, the sun closer as the earth brings the Northwest the cold…how amazing and thoughtfully kind God is.
Happy Wordless Wednesday, much love and light to you, dear friend.
Well said, Suzette. God is great indeed. Happy WW and rest of the week. Love and hugs. 🙂
He is indeed. Happy Wordless Wednesday, Sandee. Thank you for your support and kindness dear friend.
Beautiful photo, Sandee. I’m ready for the Earth’s axis to stay tilting back to warm real soon.😁
Happy Wednesday, my friend!
That makes two of us, my friend. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Beautiful picture of the snow!
All seasons have their beauty and this is winters. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Betty. 🙂
Great post and I learned something. 🤣😎🙃
I’m happy about that, my friend. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
It looks like that here. I love it. I could do without the -4 degrees this morning though. Thanks for hosting. Have a nice day. XO
Snow is most beautiful. If you don’t have to go anywhere it’s even more beautiful. 🙂
Very pretty!
I agree. We don’t get snow here, but it’s not far from me if I want to see snow. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
That’s very pretty and we will be glad when Winter says bye-bye!
We’ll be just as happy as you’ll be. Scritches to the precious kitties. 🙂
When I was younger I enjoyed acceptable cold weather (not sub-zero) and a few inches of snow were perfectly fine. Now, I enjoy winter best in photos, sitting in my recliner. Beautiful image.
We’re on the same page, my friend. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Thanks for playing along. 🙂
Winter in the country like that can be beautiful.
You’re right about that. So beautiful. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Look at that blue sky oh dear me that might be the view out our windows this weekend
We have some nasty weather heading our way
Hugs Cecilia
I hope it’s not as nasty as stated. Love and hugs to you and Kit and scritches to the kitties. 🙂
We do too…thank you
Call it what you want, I call it messing with the kid!
Hahaha!
There you have it. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
What a beautiful Winter scene….especially since I am viewing it from the warmth of my couch LOL!
Happy WW!
It’s always okay if you don’t have to go anywhere. Scritches to the precious pups. 🙂
That is really interesting, Sandee! I love the pic, too!
I hope you’re having a wonderful Wordless Wednesday! Hugs and love.
There are so many tidbits of information about our world. Love and healing hugs, my wonderful friend. 🙂
Thank you so much. 🩷🌺
If every day of winter was like this picture, we would like it more.
I hear you and I agree. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
That’s amazing, Glad to know. Awesome pic.
Thanks a lot for hosting.
I thought it was, too. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
I love you my Only. I love our Kitties too. Your Loving Husband.
I love you and our kitties. You’re a most amazing husband. 🙂
Beautiful photo! Have a great day and rest of the week!
It’s the perfect winter shot. You have a great day and rest of the week, too. 🙂
magnificent winter photo ~ Wow!
an artist reflects
Winter can be ever so beautiful Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
Seems like I left a message on the wrong post, Sorry Sandee
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity and linkup
My entries this week #46+47
Hope you will join ES #WW https://esmesalon.com/tag/wordlesswednesday/ NOW OPEN
Not a problem. I delete the one on Happy Tuesday. Happy WW and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Thanks for your help and understanding. Take care
What a beautiful winter image. When I see such a landscape, I think
I change my opinion about this season!
Happy WW, dear Sandee. Hugs and love!
Thank you for the Blog Hop!❤️😘
I’m with you on that. So beautiful. You’re welcome for the hop. Happy day and rest of the week. Hugs. 🙂
WOW Mental Floss is GREAT! Wonderful photo!
It sure is. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Unfortunately, I can see ENOUGH OF THAT outside my own window LMAO
We don’t live in snow country so I don’t know what it’s like. I’m okay not having snow. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to the boys. 🙂
Beautiful snowy scene! Colorado is low on snowpack so far this year and I miss it
I hope you get the snow you miss. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
and since we are close to the middle of the earth, we have none of this and that is why we live here…
I hear you. Lucky you. Healing hugs all around and lots of scritches to handsome Beau. 🙂
Yep, we are closer, but tilted away, and that’s just enough to do the trick. It’s amazing how God thought of everything when making our world.
I pray you and Mr. Zane have a great week. Give those two bosses of yours some scritches from me.
God knew what he was doing. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. Love and hugs. 🙂
It’s always amazed me that, for us in the Northern Hemisphere, winter comes when we are closest to the sun. And, since we may get a foot of snow this weekend, I will probably have a lot of snow beauty to look at soon. And to shovel, lol. Alana ramblinwitham
I didn’t know this. Enjoy the snow. I’m sure you won’t enjoy the shoveling. 🙂
We are blinded by midmorning sun lately. lol Thanks for sharing this, my dear.
You’re most welcome, my friend. Hugs. 🙂
I love pictures of snow covered mountains, but just too cold for me 🙂 I always want to get a cat or two or three every time I see you cat/kitten photos on your blog. Thanks for your visits Sandee
We love kitties very much and we’re not fans of the cold. Happy day and rest of the week, Sami. 🙂
Such a gloriously beautiful winter day photo. While our snow has melted it’s cold. We hope the forecasted storm for the weekend provide some white stuff, and not just single digits. Stay warm, dear Sandee.
We’re warm here. You stay warm too. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to handsome Wilson. 🙂
That’s interesting. You’d think it would be hotter if we were closer to the sun. Hope your Wednesday was a good one. <3
It’s a strange thing. Makes sense. Happy day and rest of the week, Barbara. 🙂
Learn something new every day. :). Have a happy weekend!
It’s a good thing. Happy day and weekend, my friend. 🙂
That is utterly breathtaking and for want of a better word – majestical! Happy Caturday Sandee, thanks for adding our links, we appreciate it more than mew know… purr purr purr The B Team 🐾😻🐾😻🐾
I agree with you. You’re very welcome for the adds. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to the kitties. 🙂
