Question
earth’s tilt — seasons & weather
why do some parts of the earth receive more direct sunlight than others (think of how the earth is positioned):
__________
why do we experience the seasons?
__________
For "Why do some parts of the earth receive more direct sunlight than others (think of how the earth is positioned):"
Earth is tilted (~23.5°) on its axis. As it orbits the Sun, different latitudes face the Sun more directly (e.g., tropics during equinoxes/solstices) due to this tilt and orbital position.
Earth’s axial tilt (≈23.5°) causes varying solar energy (direct sunlight, daylight hours) at latitudes as Earth orbits the Sun, creating seasonal temperature/climate changes.

Earth’s axial tilt (≈23.5°) and orbital position cause uneven direct sunlight: tilted hemisphere’s summer latitudes face Sun more directly, spreading sunlight less.
