Irrational peopleFreddie Woo tells us "I'm having to drive 500 miles to pick up my son from the ex's house because she won't let him take the train in case he gets off at the wrong station. He's 19 years old and has A-Levels and everything." - Tell us about illogical and irrational people who get on your nerves.

I thought the seasons were caused by our distance from the sun.(

It depends what you mean by "our".The seasons are when the North or South are angled towards the sun at the time.

That doeshave an effect, but the main cause is due to the tilt on the elliptic plane. The planet is actually closer to the sun during the Northern hemisphere winter.

By our I meant me and other people in the area experiencing the same season.So our distance from the sun caused by the tilt is around the same.

The tilt is reckoned to have been causedBy a Mars-sized planet smashing into the Earth many years ago. The Moon then coalesced from some of the fragments.
So no moon, no seasons, no life.
