I am quite a fan of this 'snow,' but I have been wondering... How long until it is warm, once more?

Today the sun was very bright, yet it was still cold! Why? I had thought that the sun made it warm.

You never saw winter before, Nia-san?

The sun normally does make things warm, but because of the axis of the Earth, it doesn't do it as well in winter. It'll only last a few months--until March, I think. But Johto might be different from my world.

If the ball was earth, this would be the sun. And if it was like that, the top half of the world would always be warm, right?

I suppose so.

But the world doesn't sit like that. It's like this. [He tilts the pokeball to the side.]

The world turns, too. Every day, the world spins around once--so every day, the sun can reach everywhere on Earth, just a little bit.

So it spins. I see!

However, that seems as if it would be far too fast.

The Earth is very big, so it doesn't go very fast.

And every year, the Earth revolves around the sun one time.

I wonder if my father knew all of these things.

He might have. Most people where I'm from do. We learn it in school.

But because of the tilt, half of the year, a part of the Earth is closer to the sun than the other. That side is warmer. We're further away right now, so it's colder.

It still sounds very complex.

So the sun shines brightly, yet doesn't warm us, because we are farther away from it than when it is warm?

It doesn't matter how bright something is--

Have you ever touched a lightbulb?

I have not.
