Is this supposed to be a joke? Yes it's the tilt of our axis. As it turns out, our Sun is a star and it's very hot. So the more direct exposure we have to it, the warmer it gets. This is a conversation I had with my 5 year old son recently.

It's no joke. This is a very serious issue. Yes the sun is very hot. But the sun is also more than 91 million miles away. So how can a tilt causing what can only be thousands of miles of difference at a point cause such an effect?

Are you aware that the Earth is actually closest to the sun in January, less than 90 million miles away? It's a million miles + closer and yet it is colder.
