a planet that’s perfectly aligned wouldn’t have seasons. But Earth isn’t perfectly aligned on its axis. This small misalignment, called an obliquity, is around 23 degrees from vertical for Earth. So, ...

Earth has four seasons, but do other planets in our solar system also have hot summer days and cold winter nights?

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Earth has seasons due to the tilt of Earth's axis, which is a line through the south to north pole. The Earth's axis tilts towards and away from the Sun's rays as it travels ...

The Moon has been Earth’s constant companion for billions of years, influencing everything from tides to the stability of our planet’s axis. But what if, suddenly, the Moon disappeared? This video ...

the common understanding is that Earth’s tilt dominates seasons. That said, my research makes an argument for Earth’s orbital eccentricity being underappreciated in determining our seasons.

This year, the Northern Hemisphere's winter solstice falls on December 20 at 4:20 a.m. EST. South of the Equator, this same moment marks the beginning of summer. Solstices occur at the same time ...

Throughout my research, I've found that Earth's regular pattern of seasons is unique. The rotational axis that Earth spins on, along the North and South poles, isn't quite aligned with the ...

The Earth has always had a tilt to its axis of 23.5 degrees, which is why we have seasons and daylight saving time. But if you've felt a bit off-balance, you can blame your fellow humans ...
