Are caused by the Earth’s tilt. As the Earth goes around the sun, the tilt of Earth’s axis — 23.5 degrees — causes at different times of the year, the two hemispheres, North and South, to be either tilted towards the sun or away from it. In winter, and closer to the poles, because light from the sun hits at a greater angle, the solar energy gets spread over a larger area. This makes it weaker, and cooler and gives rise to winter. In summer, and closer to the equator, light from the sun hits…
