Two side-by-side satellite images of Earth are shown from the sun-facing side. On the left, labeled “Summer Solstice View – June,” the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, with the equator marked below the center of the globe. On the right, labeled “Winter Solstice View – December,” the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, with the equator appearing higher on the globe. The graphic illustrates how Earth’s tilt changes sunlight distribution between summer and winter solstices, creating the longest and shortest daylight periods of the year.
