What are your conclusions of the season model?

[Rio Maxwell]

I concluded that the reason the seasons are opposite on the southern hemisphere and the nothern hemisphere is because of the Earth's tilt and how the sun hits it. The places around the equator will always stay warm because the sun will always hit that part of the Earth. The reason Alaska has a dark time in the winter, is because it is so far north that the sun doesn't hit it in the winter time.

I agree with you... i also thing the earth's tilt has something to do with the seasons changes.
The hemispheres are also opposites- temperature wise. I think the equator wil stay warm because it is a little closer to the sun, by how it is positioned on its axis and orbit.

i think the earth is at a slight tilt which makes the closest spot hotest and the farthest coldest and it always chages.

The earth tilts so that when it travels around the sun, the sun rays hit different parts of the earth. That is why the seasons are different in the southern hemisphere and also why some places have 24 hours of darknes or 24 hours of sunlight.

The seasons are caused by the tilting of the earth towards or away from the moon. in the summer it is tilted towards the moon and in the winter it is tilted away from the moon and recieves less direct sunlight.

I concluded that the seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth. It's always in the same direction but the orbiting effects when the North and South have diffrent seasons. The Equator stays pretty much the same all year.

i think that the reason the seasons happen is because the earth is tilted and that the earth is tilted toward the sun in the summer and away in the winter!
