Seasons
By: Kailynn Burrier
What are they?
Autumn, Summer, winter, and spring
These seasons are the four common ones they orbit around the sun These are two main seasons there are more seasons that we don't hear about often I will also explain those.
Winter
Winter is the coldest season we have
Summer
summer is the warmest season we have
How they change...
- tilt of earths axis
- different amounts of sunlight
- sun rays striking earth
- earth moves halfway Autumn and spring start to begin
Spring
spring is the first day of the equinox. Spring is a warmer season
Autumn
Autumn or it's called Fall is the transition from summer to winter
Axis
the tilting of the earths axis is one of the ways the seasons start to change into others
The planets...
1. every planet in the solar system has a season
2. seasons are hardly noticeable
3. northern line is called arctic circle
4. southern line called antarctic cirle
Longest seasons
- Neptune has longest winter
- lasts more than ten years
-Uranus also has longest
- lasts 21 years
-this cause is 23.5 degree of earths rotation
Earth having seasons
If earth was straight up and down there would be no seasons, the earths axis is tilt about 23 degrees.
Also have to do with earth traveling around the sun.
In december southern part tilts toward the sun that's why in the winter the sun doesn't rise
Throughout the year every part of the earth has the same amount of daylight hours, earth at the most extreme is called the solstice.
Earth moving...
Seasons result from earth moving closer and farther away from the sun
orbits the same distance from sun
summer occurs in North/South hemisphere
winter hemisphere tilts away from sun
Other seasons...
- season's years are distinguished by climate
- earth's axis is an invisible line
- Common seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer,Fall/Autumn
- Lots of cultures have a monsoon season
- Some people only pay attention to dry and damp seasons
