Default Letter to oriel36 - continued YET again

Comparisons between the rotational orientation of Uranus and
Earth clearly demonstrate that this fixed inclination does not
generate the seasons but only alters the way the seasons are
experienced in the respective hemispheres either side of the
Equator while at the Equator no seasonal differences occur for
either planet,at least in the barest seasonal terms of
daylight/darkness.


In all that verbiage, you acknowledge that axial tilt causes the seasons.
That it's different at the equator than toward the poles is a logical result
of the tilt. "Alters the way" is a three-word substitute for "causes."
