The "why" was correct <s>. Earth's orbit about the sun is elliptical and is closest to the sun on Dec 21st. The speed of a planet in an elliptical orbit is faster the closer it is to the sun. Given the rotation of the earth around its axis and the rotation of the earth about the sun, you would expect the earth to be in more daylight hours on Dec 21st. Your question. That's a good question. There are two surfaces described. Do I assume that the linear surfaces of both are the same length, or the distance between point 0 and point a are the same?
