An interesting fact is that it is not the proximity of the earth to the sun that determines the season; we are actually closest to the sun in January, not July.  Instead, the tilt of the earth is the key. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. This leads to summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere as the Northern Hemisphere experiences the most direct sunlight and solar heating ]]> 2017-10-19 12:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/514761/icijex7zox37/wish/198632013
