I hadn't thought of it, but you're right, almost. It would work once per year, when the poles were equidistant from the Sun and the tilt is perpendicular to the Earth's orbit.
Wait. Twice. :) Joy From: George Wealleans <[email protected]> Reply-To: Paper Models List <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2012 13:12:51 +1200 To: Paper Models List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Papermodels II 46679] Uhu02 and the Earth These are very good. Of great interest is the table of planets, and their appropriate scales diameters. Does this mean that he intends making models of them all. An orrery perhaps? As for night and day side... That wouldn't work. The earth tilts at 231Ž2°, thus the shadow does not follow the longtitudinal segments of the model. Nice try though.
