Tiberius Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Today I learned how the seasons change. I had a false idea of how that worked. Do you know how the seasons change? Betcha don't!
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Seasons change because the axis of the earth is tilted by 23.5 degrees (from a line perpendicular to its orbit). As the earth moves around its orbit there is a time when it is tilted towards the sun and so receives a higher concentration of the sun's energy (summer) and a time when it is tilted away and receiving less energy (winter). Our winter (Northern Hemi) we are closest to the sun IIRC Edited December 21, 2017 by ShadyBillsFan

No, the axis does not tilt in the opposite direction. I'm not being pedantic, it just confused me and I investigated
