Seasons Explained Through Earth’s Tilt And Its Impact On Weather

Nadia and Sebastian, living in different hemispheres, experience opposite seasons due to Earth's axial tilt. The Earth's tilt causes one hemisphere to receive more sunlight, resulting in summer, while the other experiences winter. The equator, however, maintains a constant climate. Other planets also have seasons based on their axial tilt, with some experiencing extreme variations. The video explains these concepts using Earth and other planets as examples.
