Inequality of Seasons: Earth's Orbit Representation

This lecture explores the inequality of seasons by examining the Earth's orbit with an eccentricity and amplified angular deviation. It covers the representation of the orbit, axes, and planes at solstices and equinoxes, as well as the causes of the seasons. The instructor discusses the physical and astronomical causes of the seasons, emphasizing the importance of understanding these phenomena in architecture and gnomonics. The lecture also delves into ancient and modern causes of the inequality of seasons, including the variations in the Earth's distance from the sun and the orientation of solsticial and equinoctial planes.
