Why Do We Have Seasons and How Do They Affect Us?

The Earth is tilted, and as it moves around the Sun, different parts of the world get more or less sunlight. When your part gets more light, that’s summer, when you get less, it’s winter. This tilt causes seasonal changes and affects how we live, like what we wear or what we eat.
