Question

1. What do you notice about the angle of Earth?

2. How do you think this affects the seasons in different hemispheres (halves) of the world?

Answer 1

1. Today instead of rotating upright, The earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees. The angle varies a little over time, but the gravitational pull of the moon prevents it from shifting by more than a degree so. This tilt is what gives us seasons.

2.The cooling effects of more indirect sunlight cause autumn and winter. Because of the earth's approximately 23.5° tilt, the season in the northern and southern hemispheres reversed, about six months apart from each other.
