Exposé: Understanding the origin of seasons

Why is the northern hemisphere hotter in July and colder in December? It is a question relative to our everyday life; however few people can really answer it. The purpose of this exposé is to show how the Earth turns around the Sun and how the inclination of the Earth axis rotation leads to the changing of seasons.
