Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Heliotropically

👉 The term "heliotropically" refers to a phenomenon where light is directed towards or away from an object. This can happen due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, and in particular, the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbital plane. The angle at which light rays are bent by the Earth's rotation causes them to follow different paths as they approach and leave the Earth, resulting in a heliograph.
