Why We Have Seasons
Cause of seasons on Earth
Earth's orbit around the Sun and its axial tilt.
A solar eclipse
An astronomical phenomenon where the Moon shifts in between Earth and the Sun, obstructing the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth.
The cause of different Moon phases
Different Moon phases are caused by the Moon's orbit around Earth and the altering positions of the Sun's light.
This is the push or pull that causes an object to move or change its motion

Why Earth's tilt impacts and shapes the seasons
Earth's tilt makes various areas of the planet get more or less sunlight, leading to seasonal shifts in temperature and condition.
When a lunar eclipse occurs
A lunar eclipse occurs throughout a Full Moon when the Earth is positioned precisely in between the Sun and Moon, projecting its shadow on the Moon's top exterior (surface).
The reason we can't see the Moon throughout the New Moon phase
The Moon is situated between Earth and the Sun as the illuminated side of the Moon is turned away from Earth and the shadowed side is directed towards Earth.
This law states that an object will stay at rest or keep moving unless a force acts upon it
Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)

Why summer and winter are contrary in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres
When one hemisphere is tilted in the direction of the Sun, it has summer, whereas the other hemisphere, tilted in the opposite direction of the Sun, has winter.
The difference between a solar and lunar eclipse
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon shifts between Earth and the Sun, while a lunar eclipse occurs when Earth obstructs the Sun from approaching the Moon.
The amount of time it takes for the Moon to complete one cycle of phases
It takes 29.5 days (about 1 month) for the Moon to complete one cycle of phases.
This force resists the motion of objects sliding or rolling on a surface

Result of Earth's orbit around the Sun on seasonal shifts
As Earth orbits the Sun, the angle at which sunlight reaches various areas changes, resulting in seasonal transitions in temperature and sunlight.
Why lunar eclipses only happen throughout a Full Moon
Earth is located precisely between the Sun and the Moon throughout a Full Moon as the Moon has to be on the opposing side of Earth from the Sun, which only occurs in the course of a Full Moon stage.
How the Moon's phases are connected to its orbit around Earth
The Moon's phases are connected to its orbit around Earth by the different phases of the Moon occurring as it orbits Earth, with every phase illustrating a separate position in its orbit concerning the Sun and Earth.
This is the rate at which an object alters its velocity
Acceleration
This food comes in crunchy or soft-wrapped shells that hold a seasoned stuffing, are layered with fresh greens, bursting red portions, and a pinch of grated deliciousness, all completed with a light pour of flavorful sauce

Effect of Earth having no tilt
If Earth had no tilt, there wouldn't be any seasons and the globe would undergo constant temperatures over the year with every area taking in equal amounts of sunlight all year long.
Why the Moon has a reddish color during a lunar eclipse
The Moon has a reddish color throughout a lunar eclipse because of sunlight shifting through Earth's atmosphere, which causes the atmosphere to disperse smaller wavelengths of light. This enables the extended wavelengths, such as red, to move through in which the red light would bend and illuminate onto the Moon, giving the Moon a reddish look.
This is the role the Moon's orbit plays in the cycle of its phases
The Moon's orbit around Earth alters the alignment at which we see its illuminated side, resulting in the cycle of phases from New Moon to Full Moon and returning again.
This equation shows the correlation between force, mass, and acceleration
