What are some misconceptions about seasons?

One common misconception about seasons is that they are caused by the Earth's distance from the sun, when in fact they result from the tilt of the Earth's axis. This tilt leads to varying sunlight intensity and duration throughout the year, affecting temperature and daylight hours. Another misconception is that seasons are the same everywhere; in reality, regions near the equator experience little seasonal variation, while polar areas have extreme seasonal changes. Additionally, some people mistakenly believe that spring always follows winter and summer follows spring in a uniform manner, but the timing and characteristics of seasons can vary significantly by geographic location.
