summarizing

Based on everything I have learned and observed in this Gizmo, the factors that cause the seasons is how the sun is more direct in certain hemispheres and whether the sun is at a higher point or lower point during a period of time. The axis of the earth is always at a tilt and revolves around the sun in which we get our seasons. For example, January 1st the southern hemisphere receives more direct sunlight which is summer. When the south has more direct sunlight, the north receives less sunlight in which we consider it to be winter. This continues until the south hits fall and we go on to spring. After, the south moves on to winter and we enter the blooming of summer.
You may ask what is the relationship between the height of the sun and solar intensity? Well, the higher the sun is, the more direct it is on the axis it's pointing to.
with this, the Gizmo taught me many thing I would of never known until now.
