HOW DO SEASONS CHANGE?
Seasons come to us regularly. We have probably noticed that it gets warmer in summer or dry
season while it get colder in the winter or wet season. However do we know how these seasons
change?

Seasons happen and change every year. This happens because the earth tilts back and forth as it
goes around the sun. During the summer, the earth tilts toward the sun. It makes half of the
earth hotter. this condition is what we call summer. During the other half of the year, the earth
tilts away from the sun. As a result, it makes that half of the earth cooler. This cool condition is
then what we call winter.

The different parts of the world have the same season at different times. In the northern half of
the world , winter happens during the months of December, January and February. The regions
are such North America and Europe. In the other hand, the southern half of the world have
winter during the months of June, July and August.The regions are like South America and
Australia. How does this difference happen? The same season happens at different times
because the top and bottom halves of the earth tilt away from the sun at different times.
