Introduction The elliptical nature of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun and the fact that its axis of rotation is tilted at 23.437° to the orbital plane are the main reasons we experience seasonal changes in weather conditions over the course of each year.

The elliptical nature of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun and the fact that its axis of rotation is tilted at 23.437° to the orbital plane are the main reasons we experience seasonal changes in weather conditions over the course of each year. The further a site’s location is away from the Equator and closer to the poles, conditions in December and June begin to vary quite markedly in terms of both the maximum daily altitude of the Sun and the intensity of available solar radiation.
