False
This quiz assesses understanding of the Earth's four seasons and the variations in temperature, plant growth, and daylight length. Some people believe that the changing seasons are due to the changing distances between the Earth and the Sun, and that the Earth is closest to the Sun in the summer. However, this is not accurate, as the Earth is actually closest to the Sun in the month of January, during the winter season in the northern hemisphere...
