Summer is the warmest time of the year, when days are long and play feels endless.
Imagine your favorite toy, maybe a ball or a bicycle. Now picture it being out in the sun all day, getting really hot to touch. That’s what happens to the Earth during summer! The Earth turns on its side, and one part gets more sunlight than the others. This extra sunshine makes the air feel cozy, like when you snuggle under a warm blanket.
What Happens During Summer?
- Days are longer: You get more time to run around outside before it's time for bed.
- The sun feels stronger: It’s like being near a big, bright lamp that warms your face.
- You can wear less clothes: No more heavy sweaters, just light shirts and shorts.
In many places, people enjoy ice cream, swimming, and having fun outside. Summer is like the Earth taking a long, warm nap in the sun, and you get to play while it happens!
Examples
- A child plays outside in a park on a warm, sunny day.
