Earth moves around the Sun, and sometimes we’re closer, sometimes farther. Imagine you're spinning on a merry-go-round, when you're facing the sun, it feels warm; when you turn away, it gets cooler. That’s like how seasons work! The tilt of Earth means different parts get more sunlight at different times of the year.
Examples
- It's like being on a swing, when you're facing the sun, it feels brighter and warmer.
- If Earth were tilted more, maybe we'd have even bigger seasons!
- Imagine a giant ball (Earth) spinning around another giant ball (Sun), sometimes leaning toward it.
