This
lesson
plan
uses
NASA
satellite
data
to
correlate
cloud
cover
over
Africa
to
the
solar
declination.
The
four
seasons
on
Earth
have
a
scientific
basis.
The
earth
is
tilted
23.5
degrees
from
vertical.
This
tilt
and
the
Earth's
orbit
around
the
sun
are
the
reasons
for
the
seasons.
Earth's
tilt
and
orbital
position
cause
differing
angles
at
which
the
sun's
rays
hit
the
surface
of
the
Earth.
