1. The Four Seasons
What, Why, How, Where and When?

2. What are seasons?
 A year is divided in four
*quarters.
 Each quarter lasts three months
and is a different season.
 During each quarter there are
changes in weather, temperature
and time, also the days are
either longer or shorter.

3. Why do we have them?
 The earth is constantly spinning
around the sun and around its own
*imaginary axis, because of this it
changes position around the sun.
 The axis is not straight, it is
*slanting. That means that the earth
is also slanting. Just a little bit.
 The distance of the earth from the
sun is not the same the *entire year.
It changes and that is why the sun is
sometimes higher in the sky.

4. How do seasons happen?
 The earth is *horizontally
*divided into the *Northern half
and *Southern half.
 During May, June and July, the
Northern part of the earth is
*exposed to more sun, because
that part of the earth faces
the sun.

5. When do seasons happen?
 A year has 12 months. After
three months there is a new
season.
 The seasons *repeat every
year.
 In spring and summer the earth
is leaning towards the sun and
in autumn and winter the earth
is leaning away from the sun.

6. Where do seasons happen?
 There are some places on earth
that do not experience seasons.
 These are the places that are
the *closest to the *equator.
 These places are in the warm
*region known as the *tropics.
 The tropics has a rainy season
and a sunny season, but they do
not experience cold and snow.
