I sat outside this morning after a long Wisconsin winter and sipped my coffee while I enjoyed the heat of the sun. I hope you were able to do the same and appreciate every molecule of fresh air!
If not, well, here a few facts (courtesy of NASA) about the solar system to make you really savor the sweetness of Earth's springtime!
On Mercury, there really aren't any seasons because its axial tilt is, essentially, zero. So,you couldn't enjoy springtime there. Well, heck, with temperatures ranging from -280F at night to +800F, you wouldn't be enjoying much anyway, would you?
On Venus, springtime is shorter than on Earth - around 50-58 days as opposed to approximately 90-98 days. Again, it wouldn't matter much for you since the surface temperature is around 865F year-round. You wouldn't have to worry about getting the lead out - it'd all be melted, and you would be too!
One more to make you appreciate Earth's springtime: On Uranus, springtime (and all seasons) last about 21 years. That's the good news. The bad news - temperatures hit -300 F, and the planet has storms the size of the U.S!
As you can, if you were on one of these planets, you'd be smashed, trashed, fricaseed, frozen and just flat out, well, flat!
So, get out there and enjoy spring right now - you're a lucky, lucky being!
And you'll be luck too if you try out one of my science fiction novels listed below, available at Amazon, Booklocker.com, Synergebooks, and many other sites!
