Imagine the Earth as a spinning top, and the Sun as its light source. The Earth is tilted like a wobbly top, when one side of the Earth leans toward the Sun, that side gets more sunlight and becomes summer. When it leans away, it’s winter. This tilt stays the same as the Earth moves around the Sun, so we have different seasons in different parts of the world. Seasons help plants grow, animals hibernate, and even change how much daylight we get each day.
Examples
- When it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere, snow melts and flowers bloom.
- During winter, animals like bears hibernate because there is less food and light.
- People wear different clothes depending on the season, shorts in summer, jackets in winter.
