I loved the simple explanation of equinoxes and solstices. I tend to struggle with remembering the details, so I truly appreciate this.

The equinoxes are known as the Autumnal and the Vernal, not September and March. The solstices are known as the Winter and Summer, not the December and June. And at 1:50, it is hard to understand why the orbital plane of the earth around the sun is tilted. The plane should be flat and earth's axis should be tilted. The sundial image, though sort of pretty, teaches nothing. You should have a few teachers review a video like this before publishing it.
