That the earth is titldide on its side. The axis has two poles. South Pole and North Pole. The earth spins around the sun. This is why seasons are important.

We have seasons because how we are tilted 23.5 degrees on our axis.We also have seasons because of which parts of earth are facing the sun.Like the poles have something called dark and bright seasons.When the North pole is having dark season the south pole is having bright.

Earth expirences seasons because the Earth is tiltled at a 23.5 degree angle. Their are only two exceptions. The equater and the north and south poles.They only have two seasons.If you lived near the equater you'ld have two seasons dry and wet. If you lived at one of poles the you'ld have two seasons light and dark.

The Earth experiences seasons because it has an axix that is part of the reason we are tilted 23.5 degrees and that is one reason we have seasons. In some parts of the world they only have two seasons. If you were in Antarctica you would only have two, light and dark. Thouse would be there two seasons but nere the equator it would be wet and dry. That is my infermatin on the seasons.

We have seasons because are earth is titled on its side at a 23.5 degress angle. So thesuns rays hit the Earth at diffrent angles. That causes seasons. All around there are diffrent seasons going on. But the poles have dark and light seasons. The islands or land near the equater are the Hottest places. There seasons are wet and dry seasons. Seasons are very inportant. If the earth was not titled 23.5 degrees angle we would only have 2 seasons. Those two would be Summer Winter. Spring and fall are very close to summer and fall. Fall is warning you that Winter is near. When spring is here it is close to summer. So if you did not have all four seasons trees might not have alot of time to blossom. Witch would cause less oxegen. So if the earth wasn't how it was formed then there might have been no life on earth. We sould be thankful for are four seasons. If we did not all of this right now.

The Earth experiences seasons because we are on an axis and we are not straight up we are tilted just a little bit which is 23.5 degrees. If we weren't tilted we wouldn't have seasons. We spin on are axis for 24 hours and we spin around the sun for 365 days. When we are not facing the sun during the 24 hours we are in night time but if we are facing the sun during the 24 hours then we are in daylight while the other part of the world is in nighttime. The sun hits us at different angles and that is why we have seasons. In different parts of the world people have only two seasons, in the equator they only have two seasons dry and wet. In the north and south pole they only have dark and night but they don't have any seasons because they are always cold. So if the North Pole is always light for six months then the south pole is dark for all six months. Then when the South Pole is light for six days then, the North Pole is facing dark for six months.

The earth is tilted on it's axis, 23.5 degrees. The sun hits it from different angles. That's why we have seasons. It takes 24 hours for the earth to go around the sun. There are 4 seasons.

Earth is tilted on it's axes.
An axes is a amangenary line that runs from the, Northpole to the southpole. Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees on it's axes. If Earth was just up and down we would only have two seasons it would be Summer and Winter. Sense the Earth is tilted we have four seasons it is Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall.

We have season because the sun hits as at diffrent angles. The sun is tiltid 23.5 degrees on its axis so the world gets light for ever season. If we lived neared the Equater we will only have to season. We have two poles the north and the south poles. The Earth spins around the Sun.

The reason we have seasons is because the Earth is tilted on its axis. The Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees. This is impornt becos we would not have seasions. This lets the sun hits us at angls. We have four seasons. They are sumer, wenter, spring, and fall.
