Did you know that our planet tilts on its axis, an invisible line it spins around?
Instead of standing straight up, Earth leans slightly—about 23.5 degrees! 🌍
This tilt affects how much sunlight different parts of the world receive throughout the year.
☀️ Summer – When a part of the Earth tilts toward the Sun, it gets more direct sunlight, making the days longer and warmer.
❄️ Winter – When a part of the Earth tilts away from the Sun, it gets less direct sunlight, making the days shorter and colder.
🍂 Fall & Spring – During these seasons, neither hemisphere tilts directly toward or away from the Sun, creating mild temperatures and equal day and night lengths!
Why Do Some Places Have Extreme Seasons?
Not every place experiences seasons the same way! 🌍
🏝️ Near the Equator – Countries along the equator (like Brazil or Kenya) get lots of direct sunlight all year, so their temperatures stay warm with little seasonal change.
❄️ Near the Poles – Places farther from the equator (like Canada or Sweden) have bigger seasonal changes, with super cold, dark winters and long, bright summers!
Why Do Seasons Matter?
Seasons affect weather, animals, and even people!
🐦 Some animals migrate or hibernate to survive different seasons.
🌸 Plants bloom in spring and shed leaves in fall to adapt to changes.
🧥 People wear coats in winter and shorts in summer to stay comfy!
Understanding how the Earth’s tilt creates seasons helps us appreciate the amazing changes happening around us!
