I would like to see the cross tabs on this. It's about guaranteed a fair percentage of this "26 percent" think it's a trick question, or are afraid more of giving the wrong answer.

Nevertheless, wouldn't you like to know what percentage of, so-called, "science teachers" in our public schools know the common center of gravity of this star system lies deep within the Sun?

How many of the latter know Earth is closer to the Sun in January than in June?

Damnation on our schools for teaching kids that weather originates from their parents "burning coal" to run their hair dryers.
