Answers:
The sunrise and sunset move closer together and further apart across the cycle of the year, because the Earth is tilted, and it's incline has a changing perspective relative to the sun as it circles!.
We perceive the sun's path to deviate North, until it is over the Tropic of Cancer (a line drawn on maps)!. The day that the path of the sun is over the Tropic of Cancer is about the 21st of June!. This day is the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere!.
The path of the sun seems to deviate back to the South, until it is over the Tropic of Capricorn!. This is around the 23rd of December!. It is in the Northern Hemisphere the Winter Solstice, and in the Southern Hemisphere it is the Summer Solstice!.
Two days of the year the path of the sun crosses the equator!. They are called the equinox!. The Spring (Vernal) equinox, and the Autumnal Equinox!. The word "Equinox" is from the same root as Equal; because the length of the day and night are the same!. During the winter, the night is longer, and during the summer, the day is longer!. The equinoxes are on roughly March 20 and September 22!.
Because of the changing length of day and night, it was difficult to set an absolute time for the day, so a convention was agreed upon: The calender would begin at the midpoint of sunset and sunrise, as the midpoint is constant!. Hence the 24 hour day starting at midnight, moving through to noon (the opposite midpoint) and back to midnight!.
The Spin of the Earth, and its path around the sun are not exactly in sync, causing the years to lag, so that the Earth makes another trip around the sun in slightly less than 365 days!.
This has been a problem for a long time!. The Hebrew scribes noted the lag in the year, as the Festivals kept shifting back in the seasons!. They created a complex pattern to determine which years to add a month a "leap month"!. It is one of the most respected calenders, as it will not deviate for some ten thousand years!!!
Our Calener, the Gregorian Calender, uses a much simpler system!. It adds a day every four years!. Thus every forth year is a "leap year" containing an extra day, the 29th of February!.
The lag is not exactly a quarter, though, so every year that is a century (1800, 1900) whose double-digit is not divisible by four, is not a leap year!. (1800 was NOT a leap year!. 2000 WAS a leap year)
Each Leap year, there is an Olympic games!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
