In some states, the police can give the victim (or person believed to be the victim) an Emergency Protection Order (EPO). An EPO is a short-term protection order typically given to a victim by the police or magistrate when his or her abuser is arrested for domestic violence. The EPO s generally for limited period, such as three or seven days. This permits the victim time with an EPO in place to request a longer-term protection order.
Since the earth's axis is tilted 23 Â½ degrees, then on this particular day, the sun's rays are striking the earth directly at a latitude approximately 23 Â½ degrees north of the equator (that is, the sun's rays are coming in at an angle of 90 degrees here; this is the subsolar point).
Isaac Newton, and others since his day, have shown that the Earth's precession is caused by the gravity of the Moon and Sun acting on the oblateness of the Earth. Since it can be calculated so accurately I have to believe it is true. The obliquity, or angle between the plane of the Earth's orbit and the axis, is about 23 degrees but varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees, in-phase with the precession circuit.
