Why Summer Daylight is Longer
than Winter Daylight
In the summer, the amount of daylight that we get is
more than we get in winter. This is not because as much
people think we are closer to the sun but because of the tilt of
the earth.
The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter than it
is in summer but you would be forgiven for thinking that this
can not be true after looking out of your window on a cold
and frosty morning.
It seems strange that as the earth get closer to the sun
during its orbit then the amount of daylight that we get
decrease. But that is the case. It is the tilt of the earth that
determine the amount of daylight that we get and so the
length of time that for us the sun is above the horizon.

 Making Paper from Woodchips
Woodchipping is a process used to obtain pulp and
paper products from forest trees. The woodchipping
process begins when the trees are cut down in a selected
area of the forest called a coupe. Next the tops and
branches of the trees are cut out and then the logs are
taken to the mill. At the mill the bark of the logs is
removed and the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts
them into small pieces called woodchips.
The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt
and other impurities.At this stage they are either exported
in this form or changed into pulp by chemicals and heat.
The pulp is then bleached and the water content is
removed. Finally the pulp is rolled out to make paper.

 Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs.
About 36,000 to 50,000 eggs are laid, and these are carefully stored at
the silkworm farm until they are ready to hatch. The eggs hatch into
caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the caterpillars are
ready to spin their cocoons. Not all caterpillars can spin silk cocoons.
Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth known as ‘Bombyx mari’ can
do such spinning. This caterpillar has special glands which secrete
liquid silk through its lower lip. The liquid produced later hardens to
form tine strands.
The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these strands. The
threads on the outside of the cocoon are rough, while those inside are
soft and smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside.
The cocoons are then put into hot water to loosen the fine threads.
Finally, these threads are reeled off the cocoons.
The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon
measures about one-and-a-half kilometers. Being twisted together
several of these threads make single woven materials.
