How does the tilt of Earth’s axis and its movement around the sun play a part in the changing of the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere?
Earth is tilted on its axis, which means it's not straight up and down. As Earth moves around the sun during the year, different parts of the planet get more or less sunlight. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, it gets more direct sunlight, and this makes it warmer—this is summer. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it gets less sunlight, making it colder—that’s winter. In between, we have spring and fall, when the tilt is less direct, and the temperatures are more moderate.
