Seasons and eclipses: tilt versus alignment: a 3D model for Class 7 Science, covering Earth's axis is tilted about 23.4 degrees from the line perpendicular to its orbit…, Seasons happen because of this tilt: the hemisphere leaning toward the Sun gets a higher noon Sun and longer days, The northern and southern hemispheres always have opposite seasons, Seasons are not mainly caused by changes in the Earth-Sun distance; Earth's orbit is almost a circle, At the June and December solstices the difference between the hemispheres is greatest….
