Why We Have Seasons | Middle school Earth and space science | Khan Academy

There are many misconceptions about what causes the seasons. It’s not the changing distance of Earth to the Sun, but Earth’s axial tilt that causes the seasons. When the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing summer, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun. This causes more direct sunlight to fall on the Northern Hemisphere. Six months later, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun. It receives less direct sunlight, and therefore experiences winter. The equinoxes occur midway between the points, when the length of day and night are equal.
