Earth - Sun Relations Thus, the seasons are caused by Earth’s changing orientation to
the Sun throughout the year, and the fact that Earth’s axis is inclined 23½º, and the axis is always pointed in the same direction.
Here are some special days in the Northern Hemisphere:
At the Summer solstice (June 21–22), the Sun’s vertical rays are located at the Tropic of Cancer (23½º N latitude.)
At the Winter solstice (December 21–22), the Sun’s vertical rays are located at the Tropic of Capricorn (23½º S latitude.)
At the Autumnal equinox (September 22–23), the Sun’s vertical rays are located at the Equator (0º latitude.)
At the Spring (Vernal) equinox (March 21–22), the Sun’s vertical rays are located at the Equator (0º latitude.)
