JAMES: HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHICH SEASON
IS THE LONGEST OR SHORTEST?

00:05.171 --> 00:09.843 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
DEAN: MOST SCHOOL KIDS WOULD SAY SUMMER IS
THE SHORTEST BECAUSE IT JUST FLIES BY.

00:09.943 --> 00:11.277 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
BUT IS THAT REALLY TRUE???

00:11.378 --> 00:15.382 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
DEAN: EARTH'S ORBIT IS NOT A PERFECT CIRCLE,
BUT IS AN ELLIPSE.

00:15.482 --> 00:18.985 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
SO EARTH ACTUALLY VARIES ITS DISTANCE FROM
THE SUN DURING THE YEAR.

00:19.085 --> 00:23.323 align:left position:70%,start line:83% size:20%
WHEN IT'S CLOSER TO THE SUN, IT TRAVELS FASTER,
WHEN IT'S FARTHER AWAY IT TRAVELS SLOWER.

00:23.423 --> 00:27.761 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
JAMES: AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE EARTH IS
CLOSEST TO THE SUN IN JANUARY AND TRAVELS

00:27.861 --> 00:31.598 align:left position:72.5%,start line:83% size:17.5%
OVER 2,200 MILES PER HOUR FASTER THAN IT DOES
IN JULY.

00:31.698 --> 00:35.769 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
SO WINTER IS 89 DAYS LONG, AND SUMMER IS 94
DAYS LONG.

00:35.869 --> 00:37.637 align:left position:80%,start line:89% size:10%
THEREFORE, SUMMER IS THE LONGEST SEASON!

00:37.737 --> 00:42.075 align:left position:72.5%,start line:83% size:17.5%
DEAN: ALSO, IF YOU GO OUTSIDE, ANY NIGHT THIS
WEEK, ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER SUNSET, AND FACE

00:42.175 --> 00:48.081 align:left position:60%,start line:83% size:30%
SOUTHWEST, HIGH IN THE SKY YOU'LL SEE DAZZLINGLY-BRIGHT
VENUS AND JUST ABOVE IT AND TO THE LEFT, IS

00:48.181 --> 00:49.382 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65%
THE RED PLANET MARS.

00:49.482 --> 00:53.482 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5%
BOTH: KEEP LOOKING UP!
