The sun hits the earth at different angles, at different locations. So nearer the equator, countries have warmer summer weather. However, the USA in the Northern Hemisphere has 4 distinct seasons.

Countries have distinct seasons due to their location in relation to the equator, which affects the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth. This angle determines the amount of solar energy received, influencing temperature changes and weather patterns. Countries located closer to the poles experience more extreme seasonal variations compared to those near the equator, where seasons are less distinct.
