What are the reasons for our seasons?

The changing seasons are primarily caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun. As the Earth orbits the Sun, different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight, leading to the seasons. The tilt causes different parts of the Earth to be closer or farther from the Sun at different times of the year, resulting in variations in temperature and daylight.

Because the earth is a ball, and the sun is the only light source responsible for day and night, the earth can only be illuminated on one side at a time. Luckily, the earth spins so that every side of the earth gets a piece of sunshine. The rotation of the earth is what causes day and night.

Why do the sun rays strike the earth's surface at different angles?

The angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface varies depending on the Earth's rotation and its position in relation to the sun. This angle changes throughout the day as the Earth rotates on its axis and as the Earth orbits around the sun, causing different parts of the Earth to receive sunlight at different angles.


Why do constllations appear in different parts of the sky at different times?

Because the earth constantly revolves about the sun and rotates on its axis, so different parts of the universe are visible from any one location on earth at different times.
