The video explains how Earth's tilt causes different seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres. In January, the northern hemisphere experiences winter while the southern hemisphere enjoys summer. This is due to the Earth's axis tilt, which affects the concentration of sunlight. As Earth orbits the Sun, the hemispheres' exposure to sunlight changes, leading to a reversal of seasons after six months.
