Earth's Orbital Positions: Solstices and Equinoxes Explained #197144 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts Earth’s elliptical orbit around the Sun, with labeled positions marking the March equinox (1), June solstice (2), September equinox (3), and December solstice (4). Each Earth illustration includes axial tilt (N/S poles) and directional arrows indicating orbital motion, clarifying how tilt and position drive seasonal variation. The Sun is centered, emphasizing its gravitational role and the geometry behind changing day length and solar intensity.

Used in educational astronomy, earth science, or meteorology content to explain seasonal cycles; targets students, teachers, and curious learners seeking visual reinforcement of orbital mechanics and calendar-based astronomical events.
