Study Notes
- Seasons are caused by the Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the Sun.
- The Earth's tilt causes one hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight than the other.
- Summer occurs when a hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, resulting in warmer temperatures and longer days.
- Winter occurs when a hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, resulting in cooler temperatures and shorter days.
- Spring and autumn occur when the Earth's orbit causes the hemisphere to receive about the same amount of direct sunlight.
- The angle of the Sun's light affects the temperature, with direct sunlight causing warmer temperatures and indirect sunlight causing cooler temperatures.
- The amount of direct sunlight affects the temperature in a given month.
- The Sun is the center of the solar system and Earth revolves around it once every 365 days.
- Earth's tilt on its axis is an invisible line around which the planet spins.
- The yearly pattern of seasons is a result of the combination of Earth's tilt and orbit around the Sun.
