Additional notes:
The Earth orbits the Sun once every 364.25 days. Every 4 years we have a leap year, where we add an additional day in February to make it up.
The images in this video are not drawn to scale, because to do so, we couldn't see the Earth and Sun in the same image. The Sun is actually 109 times greater in width (diameter) than the Earth. That means that when they were drawn next to each other, the Earth would be 1/109th the height of the Sun. We wouldn't see it on the screen.
The distance between the Earth and the Sun is actually about 23,400 times the Earth's diameter. That means that when drawn next to each other as shown in the top image of the video, the Earth would actually appear smaller than a pin hole (you'd need to line up 23,400 of them next to each other to reach the Sun).
Earth rotates around its own axis once every 23 hours and 56 minutes. It takes another 4 minutes more rotation to face the Sun again. So when we talk about a day = 24 hours, we are really saying the time it takes to return us to facing the Sun. (Technically called a "solar day.") Multiply 4 minutes per day by 1/2 a year and you get about 12 hours. By the time we get to the other side of Earth's orbit, we are about 12 hours rotated from where we were on the other side. The result is that noon always ends up with us almost directly under the Sun depending on where you live in a time zone. We don't notice this 12-hour rotation unless we look at the stars in the sky (the "fixed objects" against which we can see our motion). That's why we see different constellations at night depending on the time of the year.

@@faal1271 Good quesrion! Its not about the distance from the sun (though that does slightly affect the severity of the seasons) but rather about how much sunlight is actually hitting an area at a given time. The distance does lightly affect the temperature. This would mean that the Southern hemispheres summers would be much hotter than the Northern. However, because the Southern Hemisphere is mainly water, it takes more heat to raise its temperature so the difference on average is negligible.

The path of the sun in southern hemisphere is opposite of northern. Here in new zealand, the sun follows a wider arc in summer and smaller arc in winter. The other in northenr hemisphere. This path of the sun does not work in this model of this video.

[@alchandeck6471]

This was very well explained! Last week I was debating with a friend of mine that claimed that sun rays always hit perpendicularly in the Equator line. I argued that due to the tilt of Earth's axis with respect to the orbit around the sun, that didn't make sense. He quickly googled something to prove himself right, and read it to me while I was driving. So, I accepted it. But, it never quite made sense. Today, I decided to look for seasons' explanations, and came across this video. As it turns out, this video proved my argument. My conclusion from your video: The “parallel” where the sun rays hit perpendicularly moves periodically like a pendulum between -23.5 deg to +23.5 deg of latitude (a.k.a. between the tropics), with the middle point of the pendulum's trajectory being the 0 deg latitude -- a.k.a. the Equator line (“parallel”). This "pendulum" would have a period of T = 1 year.

It would be neat to see the moons orbital path in there also. In summer in the northern hemisphere, the moon moves from southeast to southwest (short) then in winter, the sun and moon switch, and you could say the northern hemisphere gets more moon light, as it goes from northeast to northwest.

It actually takes only 23 hours and 56 minutes for the earth to rotate once on its axis. 24 hours is the average length of time between successive solar noons, which is a bit longer than the time taken for one revolution.

[@michaelslee4336]

How many bets do you reckon I’ve won with this question? Answer..heaps

[@ericsumma7654]

True, true. 23 hrs, 56 min and 4+ sec for the stars to make one circuit, 24 hrs for the sun averaged over a year. And the small difference in time between these periods relates to the angular distance the Earth has traveled around the sun in that day. Since one definition of a year is one complete orbit around the sun, all of these small differences will add up to one extra 'complete' revolution of the Earth per year. X days times 24 hours, equals (X+1) revolutions times 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4+ seconds. My favorite way to determine the number of days in a year.

Very well explained using the graphics animation! It only mow I understood this so clearly. There are also two other movements of the earth. The tilt of the earth varies from about 22 degrees to 24 degrees and it happens over a period of about 46000 years. The axis also rotates around with the centre of the earth as a pinned point on the axis and the movement of the north pole(and south pole) forming a circle. The north pole points to different polestars during this rotation and takes about 22000 years to complete one rotation. Hope you will show this in another video..

Question please?, if earth's axes is always tilted at 23.5°, means this axes draws parallel lines that will never meet at a point, and so we shouldn't see Polaris always fixed at the north pole, kindly clear my confusion about this point.

[@max5250]

Hassan, Earth axis is not always the same, it changes gradually (one period is 23.000 years), but for our limited human life, it can be considered fixed. Polaris is not fixed to North pole, but it is the brightest star position closest to Earth rotational axis. Polaris is at the distance of 433 light years (433 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 300.000 km) or 4.09E15 km (4 with 15 0 before decimal point), from the distance of Polaris Earth doesn't move at all in its 150 million kilometers radius trajectory.

[@max5250]

Kha Tran (deleted comment), Polaris is neither spinning around in circle parallel with Earth, neither other stars are spinning around Polaris. Apparent moving of stars, planets, Moon and the Sun over the sky is due to Earth's rotation around its axis. Polaris is positioned near Earth's rotational axis, and looks like it doesn't move, but after closer observation, it is visible that it is moving to, just in quite small circle, compared to other stars.

[@BenWilson24]

Polaris is just really far away, so even though the earth’s tilt changes, it doesn’t appear to move. Careful measurement shows it does though

Finally! A video that CLEARLY explains it all. I had thought that the orbit around the sun was a perfect circle and that the earth tilted during the year such that at Equinox, the tilt was 0 degrees and in the summer the tilt was such that it made the northern hemisphere hot because it was closest to the sun and in the winter the tilt was away from the sun making it cold. Coupled with that thought, I figured planets that are closer to the sun are extremely hot and those farther away from the sun are extremely cold and there's no way for "extraterrestrials" to exist unless they're made of metal or something like that...............my thinking was that such a small change in distance (from the sun) caused by the mere tilting of the earth during the year causes such extreme changes in temperature between winter and summer (in Minnesota, for example, temperatures can go from -20 DegF to 100 DegF). But then I found out the tilt of the earth does not change within the year and that the orbit is a little elliptical such that the whole earth is closest to the sun during the northern hemisphere winter. That threw me WAY OFF! ---------- Thank you for setting me straight.

puh it's not possible to explain in one comment. But 2 rotations are hilarious. 24 hours is supposed to be earths rotation.. meaning in 24 hours you're facing the sun again at the same time vertically (as if the sun passes by a stick in the ground). Put this in an orbit around the sun, the stick would face towards darkness after 180 degrees. Yet what we observe in reality is that throughout the year, we face the sun at the same time vertically, only that it appears higher or lower in the sky horizontally to each season. Now that we know the planetary system as they teach us is a hoax, we must start to question the ball earth theory along with it! There is water "level", there is eye "level", there is cloud "level". These levels are straight, no curvature. And so we understand earth is flat, and sun moon and all the other stars turn above it on their respective levels, which works perfectly with everything we observe in reality also. There is still an equator, there is still the tropics, there is still the North Pole, only that the south "pole" is not a pole, but a ring of ice keeping the oceans together. That's why noone is allowed to go there, military is protecting it from pedestrians like you and me... or else we figured out we would not end up on the other side of the fake ball, but moving along the ice wall in circles... truth is simple.

Axial tilt needs no restraint at either end. Axis of spinning gyroscope resist to the change of its orientation, and remains at the same angle as long as gyroscope is spinning.

max5250 is the earth spinning? What keeps it tilted? How can the axis keep itself tilted?

[@max5250]

Dewey Tucker Isn’t it obvious that the Earth is spinning? Why do you think something needs to keep them tilted? I already explained you how tilted axes of rotating gyroscope behaves.

[@DeweyTucker]

max5250 the axis of a spinning gyro is vertical, not tilted unless its axis is restrained on a tilt. What restrains the earth’s axis on a tilt?

[@max5250]

@@DeweyTucker Axis of every spinning object is at 90 degrees in relation to the direction of spinning. The tilt, we are talking about, is the angle of spinning axis in relation to the orbital plane (that could vary from 0° to 90°), these are two completely different (and independent) movements. What's so difficult to understand there?

Great animation. Every kid should see this.

Excellent explanation

[@TX_BoomSlang]

I was wrong all along. I really thought that the earth would tilt back and forth. Thanks for explaining.

[@sailorman8668]

The earth's constant rotational tilt relative to the earth's orbital plane around the sun is what is taught in schools as to the reason why we have seasons. Did you miss this day at school when it was explained in your science class?

Globe is not a science, it’s science fiction. All we get is cartoons and CGI. No way a normal logical person would believe in 66.6 degrees tilt
