Seasonal Temperature Variations
The axial tilt of the Earth significantly influences seasonal sunlight distribution, leading to varying temperatures in the northern and southern hemispheres. There’s a notable seasonal lag, where maximum solar radiation doesn't coincide with peak temperatures, especially in mid-latitude regions. This delay, primarily due to the ocean's heat retention, raises intriguing questions about how we define summer and winter based on solar exposure versus temperature highs.In this clip
