SUMMARY:

There are four seasons of the Earth known as winter, spring, summer and autumn. The Earth seasons are caused by Earth's axis which is tilted over about 23.5 degree. During the Earth's revolution the seasons occur. Earth orbits the Sun in an ellipse shape. Earth's axis is always pointing toward Polaris. Earth is divided by an imaginary line called equator. Winter occurs when there is indirect sunlight. Summer occurs when there is direct sunlight hitting the Earth. When there is spring in North hemisphere, autumn is in South hemisphere.

CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION:

Question: How is Earth affected by movement (revolution)?

Earth is affected by its movement. Earth’s movement around the Sun causes four seasons known as winter, spring, summer and fall. It takes 365 days for Earth to complete its revolution around the Sun once. When the Earth rotates on its axis it causes day and night. The neap tide and spring tide are also caused by movement. Earth gets indirect and direct sunlight that’s how it gets different seasons.
