Bot GPT 3.5 The cause of the seasons is the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun. The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. Throughout the year, as the Earth orbits the Sun, different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight.
During summer, the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun experiences longer daylight hours and more direct sunlight. This results in higher temperatures and warmer weather. In contrast, during winter, the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun receives less sunlight and shorter daylight hours, leading to lower temperatures and colder weather.
The two intermediate seasons, spring and autumn, occur when neither hemisphere is directly tilted towards or away from the Sun. During these seasons, the length of daylight gradually changes, resulting in milder temperatures between the extreme conditions of summer and winter.
