06 what causes seasons?

The tilt in Earths axis causes the seasons. The bottom of the tilt is antarctica which is the south. The top of the tilt is Arctic which is in the north.

when Earth is on one side of the Sun the south is closer to the Sun causing summer in the southern hemisphere and when Earth goes to the other side the North is closer to the Sun causing summer and more sunlight in the north.
