*become more pronounced the further N or S one travels from the equator

Seasons are not caused by the distance earth is from the sun, but rather by the degree of the earth's axis tilt (23.5 degrees.)

The vernal and autumnal equinoxes deliver equal amounts of sunlight across the globe

The North leans in toward the sun during the summer solstice, and away during the winter solstice

The South leans in toward the sun during the winter solstice, and away during the summer solstice

The angle determines the intensity/where the earth receives the most sunlight (heating distribution)

During the summer, The north receives the most hours of sunlight

During the equinoxes, the both hemispheres receive equal hourly amounts of sunlight

During the winter, the South receives the most hours of sunlight
