While the amount of sunlight in the northern hemisphere does start to increase, it is still below what it is in the other seasons, and most of the area north of the Arctic Circle is still in darkness. As a result, the high northern latitudes are still losing more heat to space than they receive from the sun.

We can never see the Big Bang or any time around then because photons were not free to travel through the universe yet. It is possible that before the Big Bang there was no temperature to measure.


What happens to length of time it takes the planets to orbit the sun as they get further away?

The time gets longer. That's because the planets travel more slowly and they also have further to travel. The mathematical formula for this is in "Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion".

Is ice endothermic or exothermic?

Definitions Exothermic - accompanied by, or requiring, the release of heat. Endothermic - accompanied by, or requiring, the absorption of heat. Now, does the melting ice get warmer or colder? If it gets colder, then it is exothermic. If it gets warmer, then it is endothermic. Consider how we make ice - we put water into a cold place so that it gets colder with time.

Does air need to be a certain temperature for plants to use carbon dioxide?

All living processes is pure chemistry. The colder it gets, the longer time it will take to make chemicals react. There is of course a limit as to how cold a plant can become before simply dieing. Plants in the colder areas of earth grow slower. I do not know the "theoretical" lowest temperature though.


Is the second week in December a good time for a cruise?

The short answer is that any time you can take a cruise is a good time. The longer answer is it depends on where you want to go. If you want to get out of colder weather and visit the Caribbean, it is a great time. If you are headed to South America where it is summer, it is a great time. If you wanted to go to Alaska or do a Canada and New England cruise, that is not so great. In fact, you won't find any cruise line offering those cruises during the second week in December.

Why do you get colder in the winter months?

Because the part of the planet you are on is leaning away from the sun. This means you get less sunlight and the days are shorter, so there is not the chance or time enough for the heat to increase. During the summer you are leaning towards the sun, so the days are longer and the sun gets higher and warmer.
