“@neiltyson: No, seasons do not come from Earth’s orbit, but whether your hemisphere's pole is tipping toward or away from the Sun.”
WITCH!

@neiltyson fine but God is turning the earth, right? RIGHT?!? -
@jbolognino If we didn't have a moon that would be a plausible theory.

@neiltyson@DNLee5 Isn’t the earth’s orbit the reason the poles are dipping towards or away? We don’t wobble that much do we? -

@neiltyson my 9 year old quizzes adults on this constantly, almost always finds they don't understand this. It annoys her very much. - 1 more reply

@neiltyson Yeah, but doesn't the orbite determine when you are tipping towards the sun?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson what causes the tilt of the planet to change? -
@mikbre@neiltyson It's always the same (~23 deg.). On one side of the orbit, the northern hemisphere is closer to the sun and vice versa.

@neiltyson Never understood that. Surely distance of couple thousand miles from tilt is tiny compared to millions miles variation in orbit? -
@Morrus@neiltyson I always thought the same thing, but its not distance, its angle of the suns rays. Or at least that's what I was told. - 2 more replies
