They don't really, when you calculate the values for the entire year. It only SEEMS that way, in the weeks following the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. Part of that is because the Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, and reaches its perihelion (the closest point to the Sun) around January 4 each year. On that day, the Earth is moving fastest in its orbit around the Sun.

If you look at the location of the Sun in the sky at the same time every day for a year, you'll see that the Sun appears to make a figure-8 shaped pattern in the sky. This is called the "analemma"; you may have seen it printed on some globes.

Why does it go dark really early when the clocks change back?

When the clocks change back in fall to standard time, daylight hours decrease. This adjustment results in it getting dark earlier in the evening. By setting the clocks back an hour, sunrise and sunset times are aligned more closely with natural light cycles, leading to increased darkness in the evening.


A car move 4 times as fast as another identical car compared to the slower car the faster car has what times the kinetic energy?
