Earths orbit, artwork
Earths orbit. Computer artwork showing the Earth revolving around the Sun. The Earth takes around 365 days to complete a full orbit of the Sun. The orbit is not perfectly circular, instead it is elliptical. The Earth is tilted on its axis (black line) as it rotates, and it is this that gives rise to the changing seasons. When the North Pole points away from the Sun (far right) it is winter in the northern hemisphere, and when it points towards the Sun (far left) it is summer in the northern hemisphere

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Earth's Orbit" beautifully captures the intricate dance between our planet and the Sun. Created by artist David A. Hardy, this computer-generated illustration showcases Earth revolving around its celestial partner in a mesmerizing display of cosmic harmony. The image highlights several fascinating aspects of our planet's orbit. The elliptical shape of Earth's path is clearly depicted, emphasizing that it is not a perfect circle but rather an elongated ellipse. This orbital journey takes approximately 365 days to complete, marking one full revolution around the Sun. Furthermore, the artwork emphasizes how Earth's axial tilt plays a crucial role in shaping our seasons. The black line represents this tilt as it rotates with the planet. When the North Pole points away from the Sun (far right), winter blankets the northern hemisphere; conversely, when it points towards the Sun (far left), summer graces these lands with warmth and abundance. As we gaze upon this stunning representation of our solar system at work, we are reminded of both its grandeur and delicate balance. It serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about our place in space and time – an eternal fascination that continues to inspire scientists and dreamers alike.
