Jan 22, 2022 · This animated map by Eleanor Lutz visualizes Earth’s seasons, showing how the temperature changes impact ice levels in the Arctic as well as vegetation more broadly. It also highlights the cloud cover and sunlight each hemisphere receives throughout the year, with each frame in the animation representing a month of time.

What induces the seasons? How high is the sun over the year in different latitudes? And how would the situation change when the Earth's axis had a different slope?

This data service provides the dates and times of the seasons ( equinoxes and solstices) and apsides ( perihelion and aphelion) of the orbit of the Earth for the years 1700 - 2100. Just type...

Feb 11, 2022 · Seasons are periods of the year with distinct weather conditions and day lengths. Earth's four seasons are spring, summer, autumn (fall) and winter.

Mar 17, 2025 · Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

An interactive that illustrates the relationships between the axial tilt of the Earth, latitude, and temperature. Several data sets (including temperature, Sun-Earth distance, daylight hours) can be generated.

An interactive simulation of Earth's seasonal dynamics that includes the axial tilt and other aspects of Earth's annual cycle. This is part of a larger lab from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln: http://astro.unl.edu/naap/motion1/motion1.html.

Explore what causes seasons on Earth in this interactive adapted from NASA materials that features four cities at different latitudes. Use this resource to view how Earth’s axial tilt causes seasons from different perspectives and to develop and …

Computer diagram of the Earth's orbit around the Sun, showing how the planet's tilted axis gives rise to the seasons. Each hemisphere experiences winter when it is pointed away from the Sun, and summer when it is pointed towards the Sun.

Earth's Seasons written by Armen Galustyan. An interactive simulation showing how Earth receives different amounts of sunlight at different latitudes and seasons.
