The Earths seasons
The Earths seasons. This diagram shows the axial tilt of the Earth causing the seasons as the Earth orbits the Sun (centre). The four positions shown correspond to the solstices and equinoxes, and allegorical figures represent the seasons of the Northern Hemisphere. From top centre, moving anti-clockwise, with : the Spring Equinox (23 March), the Summer Solstice (21 June), the Autumn Equinox (23 September), and the Winter Solstice (21 December). On the solstice diagrams, the durations of the longest days and nights are shown. The four corners contain text describing the size of the Earth and the Earths orbital mechanics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Earth's Seasons" beautifully illustrates the axial tilt of our planet, which gives rise to the changing seasons as it orbits around the Sun. The diagram showcases four significant positions that correspond to the solstices and equinoxes, while allegorical figures symbolize each season in the Northern Hemisphere. Starting from top center and moving anti-clockwise, we witness the Spring Equinox on March 23rd, followed by the Summer Solstice on June 21st, then the Autumn Equinox on September 23rd, and finally culminating with the Winter Solstice on December 21st. Intriguingly, this artwork also includes informative text found in its four corners that describes both Earth's size and orbital mechanics. It serves as a reminder of our planet's place within space and time. The illustration seamlessly combines elements of astronomy, climatology, history of science, meteorology, astrophysics, and physics into one visually stunning piece. Through this image created by Science Photo Library (not affiliated with any company), viewers are transported into an awe-inspiring realm where celestial forces shape our climate and influence life itself. Whether you're drawn to its historical significance or captivated by its symbolic representation of nature's cycles - this photograph print is sure to inspire wonder about our place in this vast universe.
