Sure—here’s a simple sketch **(not to scale)**:

          Two sides of Earth’s orbit — the tilt stays the same

              N                                             N
             /                                             /
            /                                             /

        Your half of Earth                         Your half of Earth
        tips TOWARD the Sun                        tips AWAY from the Sun

              SUMMER                                     WINTER

Earth is like a **spinning, slightly leaning ball**. As it travels around the Sun, it keeps leaning in the same direction.

- **Toward the Sun:** sunlight hits your half more directly, and days are longer. More warming adds up → **summer**.
- **Away from the Sun:** sunlight is more slanted, and days are shorter. Less warming → **winter**.

So seasons are caused mainly by **Earth’s tilt**, not by Earth being much closer to or farther from the Sun. And when one half of Earth has summer, the other half has winter!
