Understanding Earth's Tilt and Seasons

The video explains how Earth's 23.5-degree tilt causes seasonal changes by affecting sunlight distribution. It highlights how different locations experience seasons based on their proximity to the equator. Examples from Tromso, Norway; Manaus, Brazil; Malazi, Uganda; Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia; and Hobart, Tasmania illustrate diverse weather patterns on December 21st. The video concludes by emphasizing the fascinating impact of Earth's tilt on global climate variations.
