Understanding Earth's Tilt and Its Impact on Weather

The video explains the concept of seasons, using New England as an example of a region with four distinct seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. It describes the characteristics of each season and explains how Earth's tilt on its axis, at an angle of 23.5 degrees, causes the changing seasons. As Earth revolves around the Sun, different parts of Earth receive varying amounts of light and heat, leading to seasonal changes. The video specifically discusses how these changes affect North America, detailing the transition from winter to spring, summer, and fall.
