Earth's tilt at 23.4 degrees causes distinct weather changes and seasonal variations, leading to noticeable differences in daylight and temperature throughout the year.
Eleanor Lutz combined her interests in science and art through her unique animation, demonstrating the seasonal changes of Earth using open-source astronomical data.
The animation illustrates how the tilt of Earth affects precipitation, temperature, ice coverage, vegetation, cloud formations, and sunlight, highlighting interlinked natural phenomena.
The ancient impact from a Mars-sized object is believed to have positioned Earth at its current axial tilt, which is responsible for seasonal weather patterns.
