Study Notes
- Seasons are caused by the Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the Sun.
- The Earth's tilt and orbit cause different amounts of direct sunlight to hit different parts of the planet.
- When a hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it receives more direct sunlight and experiences summer.
- When a hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it receives less direct sunlight and experiences winter.
- Spring and autumn occur when the Earth's orbit causes neither hemisphere to be tilted towards or away from the Sun.
- The amount of direct sunlight affects temperatures, with more direct sunlight causing warmer temperatures.
- Seasons affect the length of days and nights.
- Different parts of the world experience different seasons at different times.
- Seasons can be graphed to show the average high temperatures in each month.
- The Sun is important for the Earth's seasons and is the center of the solar system.
