Curiosity Corner: Why does the Earth have different seasons?
Seasonal changes are caused by Earth's 23.5-degree axial tilt, not its distance from the Sun. When a hemisphere leans towards the Sun, it receives direct sunlight and experiences summer, while the opposite hemisphere faces winter. Spring and autumn are transitional periods with more uniform sunlight distribution.
