The seasons

The video explains how Earth's tilt causes different seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres. In January, the northern hemisphere experiences winter while the southern hemisphere enjoys summer. This is due to the Earth's axis tilt, which affects the concentration of sunlight. As Earth orbits the Sun, the hemispheres' exposure to sunlight changes, leading to a reversal of seasons after six months.

Why is it summer in Brazil while it's winter in Canada?

• Because Brazil is closer to the Sun.

• Due to the Earth's tilt, different hemispheres receive varying sunlight.

• Brazil is on a different planet.

• Canada is always cold.

What causes the seasons on Earth?

• The shape of Earth's orbit.

• The speed of Earth's rotation.

• The tilt of Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun.

• The distance of Earth from the Sun.

Why is the sunlight weaker in the northern hemisphere during January?

• The Sun is further away from the northern hemisphere.

• The sunlight is spread over a larger area due to Earth's tilt.

• The northern hemisphere is covered by clouds.

• The Sun is not visible in the northern hemisphere.

What happens to the seasons in the northern hemisphere after six months?

• They disappear completely.

• They become more extreme.

• They reverse, with winter turning into summer.

• They remain the same.

How does the tilt of Earth's axis affect the seasons?

• It changes the distance between Earth and the Sun.

• It makes the Earth wobble.

• It causes the Earth to spin faster.

• It results in varying sunlight intensity across hemispheres.
