Why do you have seasons and what causes them?

Seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight at different times of the year, leading to changes in temperature and weather patterns. As the Earth moves around the sun, these variations in sunlight create the different seasons we experience.


What is the measure in degrees of the earths axial hit?

The Earth's axial tilt is approximately 23.5 degrees. This tilt is responsible for the changing seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.


What does the angle of the earths rotation cause?

The angle of the Earth's rotation, known as its axial tilt, causes the change in seasons as different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. This tilt is responsible for creating the different climatic conditions experienced in different regions on Earth.
