Now let's take a closer view of what happens to your LONG-itude BODY as it rides around on the surface
of our globe's ROTATION on its axis (axle).
First, we show your BODY'S...
12-HOUR "DAYE" JOURNEY
NOTE that during the "daye" journey your LONG-itude BODY "drifts" BACKWARD relative to the globe's FORWARD, orbital "thrust". Sure, this BACKWARD (decelerating) "drift" is very slight compared with the globe's FORWARD "thrust", but who can say for certain that it is not important?
Next we show your BODY'S
12-HOUR "NITE" JOURNEY
NOTE that during the "nite" journey your LONG-itude BODY "augments" (increases) the globe's
FORWARD, orbital "thrust". Sure this FORWARD "acceleration" of "thrust" may be slight, but, again,
who is certain that it is not important?
Night & Day? or "Nite" & "Daye"?
No doubt you have noticed that so far I spell night and day "nite" and "daye". I do this to avoid confusion. Just think, sometimes when people say "day", they mean "a" day of 24 hours, or they may mean approximately half of that 24-hour period when it's warm and light outside. And we all know that depending on the season of the year (a LAT-itude relation to the Sun) the hours of "day or night" (meaning light/dark, warm/cold) vary considerably.
But you may be certain that when I say "daye", I mean the exact 12 hour ROTATION time that your BODY (on its LONG-itude) spends on the IN-side of our globe's ORBIT TRACK around the Sun (regardless of light/dark, warm/cold LAT-itude differences). And of course, the same goes for the exact 12 hours of "nite" ROTATION time your BODY spends on the OUT-side of our globes ORBIT TRACK (regardless of....etc.).
