dunno how to break this to you but winter is cold because there's less light

[-] AlpineSteakHouse@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Not at all. Summer nights are warmer than winter day despite having more light.

Besides, the context is teaching children the practical meaning of seasons changing. No one is literally trying to figure out the thermodynamics of the earth. I never suggested that Diameter is literally causing winter because she's in mourning. But I may be wrong either way, if Hexbear adults can't understand the metaphor I'm using here then I doubt their children would.

but it doesn't mean anything?

It's a natural consequence of how the solar system is, because of how the natural phenomena we describe with physics are, and for the purposes of a simple explanation for children "less light [during the day, bleeeh ๐Ÿ™„] = colder out" is totally adequate.

you're trying to do something real weird here mate and it doesn't make any sense.
