Seasons and the Sun: Crash Course Kids 11.1

# data[].attributes.body
Our amount of daylight hours depends on our latitude and how Earth orbits the sun. Earth’s axis of rotation is tilted from its orbital plane and always points in the same direction, which is to the North Star. So the orientation of Earth’s axis to the sun is always changing throughout the year as we revolve around the sun.

The seasons are caused as the Earth, tilted on its axis, travels in a loop around the Sun. Summer takes place in the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun, and winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun. As Earth travels around the Sun, the position of the hemispheres change.

- The earth's orbit around the sun is a skinny ellipse, making the distance between earth and sun vary over a year.

- The sun is far off-center within the earth's orbit, making the distance between earth and sun vary over a year even more.

- Earth is closer to the Sun during summer and farther away during winter.
- Seasons happen at the same time everywhere on Earth.
