Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The earth’s spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the earth’s axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth’s axis points away, winter can be expected.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earth’s axial tilt is responsible for the formation of seasons. When a hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, that region receives more sunlight and becomes warmer, while the hemisphere that is tilted away receives less solar energy and is cooler.
Detailed explanation-3: -Remind students that the two reasons seasons occur are the tilt of a planet’s axis and its orbit around the sun.
