What is summer?

Summer is the warmest season of the year when days are long and the sun feels like a friendly hug.

Imagine you have a big, bright lightbulb that shines over your head all day, that’s the sun, and during summer, it stays up for most of the day. It’s like having a super cozy blanket on your back while you play outside.

Why Summer Feels So Warm

The Earth turns around like a spinning top, and in summer, we’re tilted toward the sun. That means the sun shines more directly on us, just like when you stand close to a lamp, it feels warmer than standing far away from it.

What We Do in Summer

People love to go swimming, eat ice cream, and play outside until it gets dark. It’s like having an extra-long playtime every day, with the sun as your best friend cheering you on.
