🔥Pretty Intuitive Animation explaining seasons, Equinox, Solstice, length of day and night
Seasons occur because the Earth is tilted on its axis by about 23.5 degrees as it orbits the sun.
This tilt means different parts of the Earth get varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
When the Northern Hemisphere tilts toward the sun, it experiences summer, while the Southern Hemisphere has winter, and vice versa.
Spring and autumn occur when neither hemisphere is tilted directly toward or away from the sun, leading to moderate temperatures.
This tilt and orbit combination affects day length, weather patterns, plant growth, and animal behaviours, making seasons essential for the natural cycle of life on Earth.
