顛覆想像的酷寒冷知識：地球離太陽最近的季節，竟是冬天？
冬天地球離太陽最近？世界雪最多的城市在哪？PRISM為您揭開關於冬季天候的驚人科學真相，顛覆您的氣象常識。
普遍認為，冬日酷寒源於地球遠離太陽。然而事實恰恰相反：北半球的冬季，地球正處於一年中最接近太陽的軌道點。季節更迭的真正主因，並非距離，而是地軸傾斜的角度。
地球氣候的奧秘，遠超常人想像。論及全球降雪之最，桂冠由日本的青森市摘下。該市年均降雪量高達312英寸（約8米），可謂名副其實的「雪國」。
與此同時，天降瑞雪之處，亦有令人意想不到的地點。根據記錄，2011年地球上最乾旱的智利阿他加馬沙漠，因一股罕見的南極冷鋒過境，竟也迎來了近32英寸（約81公分）的降雪，景象蔚為奇觀。
您可曾在暴雪中聽見雷鳴？此乃罕見的「雷打雪」現象，尤以湖泊附近最為常見。更有甚者，2016年西伯利亞海岸出現了直徑近3英尺的神秘雪球（sphere），經查證是風與水流相互作用下，渾然天成的奇景。
雪花的尺寸同樣挑戰極限。根據一則1887年的軼事，美國蒙大拿州曾有目擊者聲稱，親眼見到直徑寬達15英寸（約38公分）、如「牛奶盤」般巨大的結晶從天而降。
