Imagine you have a heater in one side of your house and a cooling machine on the other side. You won’t reach an equilibrium. It’ll be hot on one side and cold on the other and warm in the middle.

The earth has a tilt causing half to recieve more sun therefore heating it, making it summer, and the other half to be colder making it winter. U
