The phenomenon of Earth's seasons is primarily due to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbit around the Sun. This was first explained by the ancient Greek astronomer, Eratosthenes, in the 3rd century BCE. He observed that the angle of sunlight hitting the Earth varies throughout the year, leading to the different seasons in each hemisphere.
