equator.
Brief Explanations
- The tilt of Earth's axis causes the seasons. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it experiences winter, while the Southern Hemisphere, tilted towards the Sun, has summer.
- The curved surface of the Earth means that sunlight hits different latitudes at different angles. Near the poles, sunlight is more spread out (lower intensity), while near the equator, it is more concentrated (higher intensity).
