The Calendar, Australia & White Christmas

The video explains why Earth experiences seasons due to its axial tilt and how this affects sunlight distribution across hemispheres. It delves into Earth's gyroscopic motion and precession, which influence the timing of equinoxes and solstices. The Gregorian calendar's alignment with the solar year is discussed, including leap year rules that help maintain synchronization with the seasons. Long-term effects on the calendar and potential future changes are also explored, considering Earth's orbital dynamics and interactions with the moon.

Describe the mechanism of leap years and their purpose in the calendar system.

Discuss the long-term effects of Earth's orbital changes on seasonal timing and climate.

What potential future changes could affect how we measure time and seasons?
