Why does our Earth have seasons? Why some areas on Earth experience 24 hours of day and night by summer and winter? What causes these conditions over the course of the year? Why is the insolation (incoming solar radiation) distributed unevenly across the Earth’s surface? We would like to learn all the reasons for these questions and get answers by exploring this multimedia learning activity.
