Angle and direction will affect the amount of solar radiation in each hemisphere, affecting the seasons due to the uneven heating of the land. Since the NH has more land than the SH, temperatures in the NH hemisphere seasons can be intensified based on the precession of the Earth (if the NH is towards or away of the Sun.)
