Balancing Earth's Four Seasons
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays.
So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun , • it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere and • winter in the S outhern H emisphere . When the North Pole tilts away from the Sun , • it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere . and • it's summer in the southern hemisphere.
Seasons when Earth's axis is tilted toward the the sun
• Spring is the season for reproduction. Trees regrow the ir leaves and start to produce flowers. Animals become active and also reproduce during spring. • Summer is the hottest season, occurring between spring and fall. Summer is the seasons with the most hours of daylight ( the earliest sunrises and the latest sunsets ) . Seasons when Earth's axis is tilted away from the sun • Fall i s the season when the temperature gets cool and the number of daylight hours begins to decrease. The leaves on trees begin to change color and fall away. This will help them to save stored energy during the approaching winter months. • Winter is the season when the weather is the coldest (and snowiest) and days are the shortest. The sun rises later in the morning and sets very early in the evening .
