In How Earth’s Tilt Shapes Our Climate, learn how the Earth’s 23.4° axial tilt causes seasons. Discover the equinoxes, when day and night are equal, and the solstices, which bring the longest and shortest days of the year. This video is excerpted from BBC's Orbit: Earth's Extraordinary Journey, an engaging documentary that explores the intricate dance between Earth and the Sun, revealing how our planet's motions shape the seasons, weather patterns, and life on Earth.
In Weather Systems of the Globe, Sir David Attenborough describes air currents as they form Earth’s storms. Circle the globe to see hurricanes, sandstorms, monsoons, and tornadoes! This video is excerpted from BBC's Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
