Tilt

Find out how the seasons work!

It's a crazy day when snow starts falling and it’s the middle of summer! But sometimes crazy days are just what you need to discover something new. Join Annie, Max and their robot friend for a whirlwind adventure. It’s surprising what a new angle on the world can do.

They examine the apparent path of the Sun and Earth's tilt to find out about the day-night cycle and why it is different at different places on Earth and at different times of the year. They understand how the seasons are opposite in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and are caused by two factors — Earth's tilt and our planet's path around the Sun.
