Oooooookay this made a bit of sense, despite Flamsteed talking lots and moving about so much. It was kind of annoying really. "
Because the sun gives us hot weather... so when we're not facing the sun, we don't get as much heat... which gives us winter." His voice was lazy because he was trying to make out he knew what he was talking about and that this wasn't new information to him.
Was it working?
