The document discusses the causes of seasons. It explains that the Earth's axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees and as it revolves around the sun, this causes different parts of the Earth to receive more or less direct sunlight over the course of a year, resulting in seasons. Specifically, summer occurs in areas tilted toward the sun and winter where it is tilted away. The changing position of the sun in the sky throughout the year also affects the length of days and amount of sunlight received, contributing to seasonal temperature changes.
