i cant blame him. coming of age in trumps america would put anyone with empathy off. hes applying for visas now and i suspect his australian native girlfriend will soon be 'fiance'.

any tips? warnings? my only concern is the real possibility of never seeing him again.

Ummm...
"No, it’s not the angle."
Wrong. Axial tilt IS what causes our seasons, NOT the distance from the sun.

Speaking of the sun, "The sun’s orbit isn’t exactly symetrical..."

The sun's orbit? Around what? The centre of the Milky Way?

You're not 100% wrong. Zero_gravitas answered my comment about the apsis with a comment about the seasons, and I called them wrong even though technically they were just referring to the wrong topic. I was right though, the perihelion occurs in January and the anhelion occurs in July, and that this means the sun is closer to earth during Australian summer than it is during American summer.
