The video tutorial explains the reasons for the changing seasons on Earth. It highlights two main reasons: the Earth's movement around the Sun and its axial tilt. The Earth's orbit takes 365 days, and its axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees. This tilt causes varying sunlight intensity in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, leading to different seasons. The Southern Hemisphere receives direct sunlight, resulting in summer, while the Northern Hemisphere gets less direct sunlight, causing winter. As the Earth orbits the Sun, the tilt changes, leading to seasonal shifts.
