The Earth goes around the Sun like a spinning top. It also leans, that's called tilt. When one side of the Earth gets more sunlight, it's summer there. When it gets less, it's winter.
Examples
- Imagine your room has a lamp, when you move closer to it, it gets brighter. That’s like summer. When you move away, it gets dimmer, that’s winter.
- If Earth didn’t tilt and always faced the Sun straight on, we’d have no seasons at all, just constant hot or cold days.
- You feel warm in the morning when the Sun hits your face, that's similar to how the Earth feels more sunlight during summer.
