Seasons Diagram Maker

Explain seasons through tilt and sunlight

A seasons diagram links Earth's axial tilt to changing sunlight angle and daylight duration during the year. Opposite hemispheres experience opposite seasons, so every seasonal label needs a hemisphere.

Use it to explain the annual pattern

The diagram suits introductory Earth science, solstice lessons, and hemisphere comparisons. A separate day-and-night diagram is clearer when the lesson concerns Earth's daily rotation.

Keep the orbital drawing consistent

1. Keep the axes parallel. Earth's axis should point in the same direction across the four orbital positions.
2. Label the hemisphere. June corresponds to northern summer and southern winter.
3. Connect tilt to sunlight. Show how directness and daylight duration change rather than relying only on season names.
4. Treat the orbit as schematic. Do not use the drawn distance from the Sun to explain summer and winter.
5. Distinguish the four events. Use March and September equinoxes alongside June and December solstices.

Build a teachable orbital view

MyMap draws a seasons illustration from your requested labels and scope, then revises it through follow-up instructions. The example shows four Earth positions around the Sun with northern seasonal labels.
