3:46 PM Many people wonder why we have the four seasons, Winter, Summer, Spring, and Fall. These seasons let us know things like what to wear, things to eat and places to go. Some people just think that's the way the world is, But other people want to dig deeper. When people think of winter they think of snow, hot chocolate and other winter activities, Whereas Summer we think of the beach, and ice cold lemonade. Well let's think about this- Why do we have seasons, and What causes it? When you think about this question most us would draw a blank, usually we don’t think farther than the names of those four seasons. Now- we uncover the facts and details of our four seasons. When the world rotates it tilts at different angles towards the hemispheres, North and South. When the earth's axis is tilted toward the Northern hemisphere, The northern hemisphere gets more light and warmth for more hours of the day, So then it is colder and darker for more hours of the day in the Southern hemisphere. This information meaning that it would be Summer time in the Northern hemisphere and winter time in the Southern hemisphere. The Summer Rotation: This rotation is called the "June Solstice", this solstice usually occurs starting June 21st or 22nd. During this solstice is when we have the most hours of daylight, the sun's beam hits the earth at a high angle. This beam does not hit most other parts of the world, but where it does hit, it gives off a lot of energy (meaning heat). When the earth's Northern hemisphere is pointed more to the sun, it is representing that it is summer time in the Northern hemisphere and winter in the Southern. The Winter Rotation: During the winter rotation the sun is shallow and not much light is given off, which means only a little
