    The document discusses the relationship between the Earth, Moon, and Sun and how it affects seasons and tides. It explains that the Earth's 23.5 degree tilt on its axis causes the seasons as it orbits the Sun, with one hemisphere receiving more direct sunlight at different points. It also describes how the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun cause bulges in the oceans known as tides, with spring tides occurring during a full moon or new moon when their pulls are aligned, and neap tides when they are at a 90 degree angle. The phases of the Moon are also explained as it revolves around the Earth over 28 days.

    The earth's orbit around


    the sun is counter-
    clockwise.

    The changes in the earth's seasons is caused by the 23.5


    degree tilt of the earth's axis. When the axis is tilted
    toward the sun, it causes one hemisphere to receive more
    solar energy. When the axis is tilted away from the sun,
    one hemisphere receives less solar energy.
