The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, and the longest night. In spring and autumn, the midpoints are called the equinoxes. At the spring and autumn equinoxes, day and night are the same length.
The reason we have seasons is because, during its journey around the Sun, the Earth is tilted. The Earth’s tilt affects the amount of daylight each hemisphere gets, which in turn makes the temperature hotter or colder.

That’s because the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and the days are longer.

So, the hemisphere that was in “winter” when you started moving the ball, is now in “summer”, and the hemisphere that was in “summer” is now in “winter”. The Earth in June.

Year-over-Year (YoY) Growth compares the change in a company’s annualized metric in two comparable periods, typically the current period and the prior period as of the fiscal year-end date.
The objective of performing a year-over-year analysis is to compare recent financial performance to that of historical periods.
The main benefit of YoY growth analysis is how easy it is to track and compare the growth rates across several periods, which if annualized, removes the impact of monthly volatility.
Now that we’ve defined the purpose of year-over-year (YoY) growth analyses, we can move on to a simple modeling exercise in Excel. To access the model template, fill out the form below:
For our model, we’ll be assessing the annual growth rate for the following two metrics:
