Because the earth is on a tilt, when it's summer, your side of the earth is on a tilt towards the sun. When it's winter, the earth is on the other side of the sun, but it's still tilting the same way, so your side of the earth is tilting away.

Where is seasonality strong?

On Earth, the greatest changes in the seasons are found near the poles. This is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis that changes the angle of the Sun's rays from season to season. Near the equator, there is little change in the angle of the rays, and so little change in the seasons.


Does the earths orbit changes the season?

No. Earth's orbital eccentricity (a measurement of the difference between the closest and farthest approach of the Earth to the Sun) has negligible effect on seasonal changes. Rather it's earth's axial tilt that gives rise to seasons.


What season is ocurring in Detroit when the earth is closest to the sun?

The Sun is closest to the Earth in January. In the northern hemisphere, it is winter at that time. The seasons are not caused by changes in the Sun-Earth distance.


Why do stars appear to move across the sky from season to season?

Stars appear to move across the sky from season to season due to Earth's orbit around the Sun. As Earth orbits, our perspective changes, making it seem like stars are in different positions. This apparent movement is caused by Earth's rotation and its revolution around the Sun.

What occurs when Earth's axis wobbles?

the Earth's axis always wobbles but it does so seasonally and when it does it changes seasons in certian locations. when the axis wobbles, whatever location you are in will either get tilted towards the Sun or get tilted away from the Sun, which changes the season with the help of the revolution of the Earth around the Sun


How do you know that there is an earth revolution?

The Earth takes 365.25 days to revolve around the sun. when Earth revolves around the sun the season changes. *If you notice the northern hamisphere and southern hamisphere have two opposite season. i.e when it is winter in northern hamisphere, it summer in the southern hamisphere. This is caused by the revolution of Earth around the sun.


Why does earth experience ice ages and other climate changes?

What are the main reasons for the seasons on earth?

The main reason for the seasons on Earth is the tilt of the planet's axis relative to its orbit around the sun. As Earth orbits the sun, different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the changing seasons. This tilt causes the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth to vary, resulting in differences in temperature and daylight hours.
