I did an experiment shining light on a piece of paper and tilting it to demonstrate how Earth tilts away from the Sun causing the seasons to change. The question asked what the independent and dependent variable is. I looked up what they mean I'm still confused.

dependent variable: season on the N hemisphere
independent variable: angle of earth's rotation measured to line from sun to Earth.

Now as a point of reference: Earth does not tilt away from the Sun exactly. Remember the Southern Hemisphere is part of the Earth, and when the Northern Hemisphere tilts away, the Southern Hemisphere tilts toward.
Thank you so much. This was very helpful
