-Seasons happen at the same time all around the Earth.
-Seasonal characteristics and change are the same everywhere on Earth.
-The Earth is closer to the Sun at any point during orbit.

-The seasons are caused as the Earth, tilted on its axis, travels in a circle around the Sun each year.
-The hemisphere that is tilted towards the Sun is warmer because sunlight travels more directly to the Earth’s surface. This means the hemisphere away from the sun is experiencing colder temperatures.
-The seasons Fall and Spring have equinoxes, meaning that the side facing the sun is experiencing equal light throughout.

-During Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the Earth is tilted towards the sun.
-During Spring, the Earth's equator is pointing directly at the Sun.
-During Winter, the Northern Hemisphere is pointed away from the Sun.
-During Fall, the Earth's equator is pointing directly at the Sun.
-When rays of sun beam down at Earth at a steep angle, more heat will be felt by us on Earth. 
When rays of sun beam down at a flatter angle, the cooler it will be.
-The rays of sun are more direct for the hemisphere pointing at the Sun, which causes the temperature difference between the seasons.

-This is what explains the change between night and day. Since the Earth spins around once a day, this explains how there is a period with and without light.
