Produced by Melbourne Planetarium at Scienceworks, Museums Victoria

Who sets the rules of spring, summer, autumn and winter?  Why do we have to endure the sizzling heat in summer and get through the chilly winter every year?

Annie is making a model of the Earth's orbital revolution.  Suddenly revolving scenes of seasons pop up in her room.  Her brother's Max suggests they should set out together and find the answer in space.  In the spacecraft, through observing the patterns of the Earth's rotation and revolution, they find out how the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the seasons and affects the sunshine and temperature in the northern and southern hemispheres.  They also try to understand how the four seasons are defined and divided astronomically.
