    iirc the seasons are caused by the wobble in earth’s tilt. In summer your hemisphere of the earth is tilted “forward” so that it’s directly facing toward the sun, and in winter that hemisphere is tilted away to point not directly at the sun.

    That’s why when one hemisphere has summer, the opposite hemisphere has winter. If seasons were caused by a change in the earth’s orbit distance then the entire planet would experience the same season at the same time

    I was not quite right

    There are 2 different categorization systems - botanical and culinary. Both are valid systems for their topic, but ONLY for their one topic. Calling a tomato a vegetable is the correct answer for cooking, but the incorrect answer for botany, and vice versa.
