Why are there seasons each year? Is it cold in December because the Earth is farthest from the sun at that time? If the Earth is closest to the sun in summer, why is it winter in New Zealand and warm in the Northern Hemisphere? Studying the reason behind the change of seasons can be confusing, but Bill Nye is on top of it. In Bill Nye the Science Guy: Earth's Seasons, he demonstrates the reasons for the cycling of seasons, and makes it very clear why Christmas comes in summer in Australia.
