...the sun is higher in the heavens in summer than in winter. This we should soon see was the result of the inclination of the axis of the earth to the plane of its orbit. Fig. 3 shows this at once. We see the earth drawn as it is placed with regard to the sun... | |

...make it easier to sail westward than to return. Hence, "Westward the star of empire takes its way." The inclination of the axis of the earth to the plane of its orbit causes the change of seasons, and renders one part of the earth more desirable than another... | |
