By now you hopefully concluded that the angle sunlight makes with the surface, the tilt of the Earth, and the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, all play a part in causing the seasons. For a closer look at the reason for the season, click and drag the observer at the top right panel to 37° north (this is the latitude of Springfield, MO). Drag the red toggle at bottom slowly throughout the months of the year and observe the sunlight angle (Sun's altitude) above the observer's horizon (bottom right panel). At which part of the year is the Sun highest in Springfield's sky? O Fall O Winter O Summer Spring
