Yes. Summer and winter happen because Earth is tilted, not because we get closer to the Sun.

Earth spins like a top that is leaning a little (about the same lean all year). As we go around the Sun:

- When **your half of Earth leans toward the Sun**, sunlight hits more straight-on and days are longer. That is **summer**.
- When **your half leans away**, sunlight comes in at a slant and days are shorter. That is **winter**.
- The other half of Earth has the opposite season at the same time. When it is summer where you live, it is winter on the other side of the world.

A quick demo: shine a flashlight straight down on a paper, then tilt the paper. Straight-on light is brighter and warmer. Slanted light is spread out and weaker. That is winter light.
