Why Is It Hot on Earth During Its Farthest Point from the Sun?
Despite being at its farthest point from the sun during aphelion, Earth's seasons are primarily caused by the planet's tilt of about 23.5 degrees, which affects sunlight angles and intensity, rather than the distance from the sun.
San Francisco's Millennium Tower leans further west despite engineering efforts.
San Francisco's Millennium Tower has continued to tilt and sink deeper into the ground, with monitoring data revealing a half-inch deeper tilt than previously thought. Engineers have been working to stabilize the building, but the data shows progress on the north side may have come at a cost to the west side. The tower was built on a former landfill, and engineers plan to secure the foundation to a dozen piles sunk along Fremont Street to bear the partial weight of the building load. The goal is to reverse the tilt by the end of the month.
