    Annual Earth-Sun Relationships

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses how the tilt of the Earth and its revolution around the sun cause seasons and influence temperatures. It notes that the Northern Hemisphere tilts toward the sun in June and away in December, making June warmer. Selecting a location in the Southern Hemisphere, it can be concluded that December is warmer there as the Southern Hemisphere then tilts toward the sun. The rotation of the Earth affects time and the revolution around the sun causes seasons by influencing the distribution of sunlight over the year. Higher latitudes are colder as they receive less direct sunlight, while lower latitudes are warmer.
