The video explains why seasons change throughout the year, focusing on Earth's revolution around the sun and its axial tilt. These factors cause varying angles of sunlight, leading to different temperatures and seasons in each hemisphere. The video also discusses how the tilt remains constant, resulting in opposite seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres. Spring and fall occur when neither hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. The video concludes by summarizing the relationship between Earth's movements and seasonal changes.
