I’m just busting your balls. But seriously, stay in school kids.
Yeah fr, I had no idea about the axial tilt stuff. Wild

It’s definitely one of those things that seems obvious once you think about it but not something you would necessarily come to on your own.

Here’s another; an image of the moon from the southern hemisphere appears upside down compared to the moon you’re likely familiar with.

The Moon thing does make sense. But I genuinely thought Earth’s orbit had more eccentricity than that, and didn’t know the rotational axis was that skewed.
