Movement and Position of the Earth – Seasons
Next Generation Science・3 minutes read
Seasons are determined by the Earth's orbit and tilt, resulting in four distinct seasons that differ between the northern and southern hemispheres based on sunlight and temperatures. The tilt causes summer, winter, autumn, and spring to occur annually in each hemisphere.
Insights
- Seasons are determined by the Earth's orbit around the sun, resulting in the occurrence of four distinct seasons annually, each lasting approximately three months.
- The Earth's tilted rotation causes varying sunlight and temperatures in the northern and southern hemispheres, leading to the unique seasonal patterns experienced in each hemisphere based on their position relative to the sun.
