Astronomer Adel Al-Saadoun said that the Gemini season begins on the third of July every year and lasts 26 days, explaining that the Gemini period is characterized by hot weather, Al Qabas reported.
Al-Saadoun added that the first Gemini began today, Saturday, and its null (Al-Haq’a), which is one of the homes of the moon, and its duration is 13 days and will continue until July 15.
He stated that the second Gemini begins on the 16th of this month, and its nou (Al-Hana’a) is from the houses of the moon, and its period is 13 days, and it continues until the 28th of this month, and after that comes the marzim season.
He explained that the Gemini period is characterized by hot weather because it is a period of free departure, as he says, “It is only free to leave,” meaning the departure of the sun from the zenith of the head after it was above the head on the summer solstice last June 22 and the beginning of its tilt and descent.
He indicated that in the Gemini period, the winds sometimes get stronger and raise dust with them, but they are not as fast as the winds in the summer square period, which begins on June 7 and ends on July 15 of each year.
He pointed out that the Earth is at aphelion on July 6 because the Earth’s orbit around the sun is elliptical in shape, not completely circular, due to the attraction of the moon and planets, the most important of which is Jupiter, so that on the first of January it is at perihelion (the closest point to the sun) and at the beginning of July at apogee ( farthest point from the Sun) and in January it is 147,105,052 km away and in July it is 152,100,527 km away.
He indicated that the difference between the two points is five million kilometers, and this gives a small difference in temperatures, but the real reason for the difference in temperatures in the seasons is the tilt of the Earth’s axis, which is now 23.4 degrees from the level of the sun.
Al-Saadoun said that this leads to the northern hemisphere tilted towards the sun in June, which causes summer to enter it, and at the same time, the southern hemisphere is moving away from the sun, which causes them to winter.
He pointed out that the Earth moves away from the sun annually by 15 centimeters, or one and a half kilometers every 100 years, due to the loss of the sun’s mass as a result of daily burning.
