It turns out that the elliptical orbit of the Earth has little effect on the seasons. Instead, it is the 23.45-degree tilt of ...

isn't quite aligned with the vertical axis perpendicular to Earth's orbit around the sun. That slight tilt has big implications for everything from seasons to glacier cycles. The magnitude of that ...

The Earth’s tilt means we experience four seasons as we orbit the Sun. So, starting with winter in the northern hemisphere, the Earth moves round and the days get longer and warmer until it ...

A year is the time it takes to orbit the sun. And we have seasons because the Earth's axis is tilted by 23 degrees. To see how that works we need to speed time up, so a year passes in just ten ...

Below, view how the seasons change with Earth's orbit around the Sun: Eleanor Lutz, who is currently a graphics editor at The New York Times, made the animation in 2019 using open data from NASA ...

Mars’s axis of rotation is tilted 25.2 degrees relative to the plane of the planet’s orbit around the sun, which helps give Mars seasons similar to those on Earth. Whichever hemisphere is ...

The Martian calendar, established in 1955, counts years from the "great dust storm of 1956," a significant event in Mars' meteorological history.
