Story Synopsis
Seasons bring warm summers, cool winters, and everything in between. This story explains what seasons are. Miluna shares that Earth is tilted a little.

In One Glance
Seasons are caused by Earth’s tilt, not by Earth being closer or farther from the Sun. As Earth goes around the Sun, the tilted axis means one hemisphere receives more direct sunlight and longer days for part of the year (summer) while the other receives less sunlight and shorter days (winter). When neither side leans strongly toward the Sun, we get spring and fall. The story presents seasons as a calm, predictable cycle.
