Detailed explanation-1: -Earth’s tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun’s most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -T he pattern shows that the number of hours of daylight per day is higher in the summer and lower in the winter. This pattern is caused by the tilt of Earth’s axis. At some points in Earth’s orbit around the Sun, the tilt causes one hemisphere to lean toward the Sun while the other one is tilted away.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
