    But wait, the sun moves around in its orbit around the galaxy. How can the sun be straddling the line at all times? You can’t even solve that by saying the division is exactly in the same plane as the sun’s orbit because it varies up and down due to differences in the galactic make-up. Does the dividing line just move with the sun like some sort of sol-centric division?

    Great Britain does not include Northern Ireland. This raises the question, “what is the difference between Great Britain and Britain?”

    The distinction, when it is made, is that Great Britain is the entity encompassing the three nations on the island of Britain. Sometimes the distinction is not made, and in that case Great Britain is used for both.
