Interactive model of the Earth-Sun-Moon system.
Seasons aren't caused by distance to the Sun, but by Earth's 23.5° axial tilt. When the North Pole tilts towards the Sun, it's summer in Sweden.
Moon Phases are caused by our viewing angle of the lit half of the Moon. Sun always lights up 50% of the Moon.
