Climate, I think.

The earth's axis points to the same spot in the sky as the earth orbits the sun. This relationship can be divided into four points of interest.
<span>1) When the earth's north pole is pointing at its maximum amount away from the sun. That is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. </span>
<span>2) Six months later, the north pole is now tilted most *toward* the sun. This is the NH summer solstice. </span>
<span>3,4) The points halfway between those are where the polar axis is "sideways" to the sun. The sun is on a direct line from the center of the earth through the equator. These are the two equinoxes. </span>
<span>To illustrate this, take a globe and move it in a circle around some central point, with the angle of the polar tilt always pointed in the same direction. </span>
