How Axis Tilt Affects the Intensity of Solar Radiation

Description
It is because the axis is tilted that we have seasons.
(a) The tilt of Earth’s axis of rotation changes from 22.1 to 24.5 degrees and back in a 41,000-year cycle.
At higher latitudes, even the shift of a few degrees can cause a significant change in the intensity of solar radiation.
