Here's why:
* Earth's Tilt: Our planet is tilted on its axis at approximately 23.5 degrees. This tilt remains constant as the Earth orbits the sun.
* Seasons: The Earth's tilt causes different hemispheres to receive more direct sunlight at different times of the year.
* Summer: When a hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it experiences summer because the sun's rays hit it more directly, leading to warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours.
* Winter: When a hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it experiences winter, with less direct sunlight, cooler temperatures, and shorter daylight hours.
* Equator: The equator receives relatively consistent sunlight throughout the year, experiencing less variation in temperature and daylight hours.
This is why we have distinct seasons in different parts of the world. The angle of the sun's rays affects the intensity of sunlight and the length of the day.
