Seasons

� 49) Seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth on its axis as it rotates around the Sun.

� 50) The tilt of the earth causes the sun’s rays to strike different parts of Earth at different angles.

� 51) Earth turns daily on an axis that is tilted relative to the plane of the Earth's yearly orbit around the sun.

� 52) Sunlight falls more intensely on different parts of the earth during different times of the year due the position of the Sun and Earth.

� 53) The angle of the Sun’s rays striking the Earth changes throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis, causing our seasons. Summer – arctic circle

Winter in the Arctic Circle

� 54) The difference in heating of the earth's surface produces the planet's seasons.

� 55) The Earth’s tilt on its axis is the primary reason for the seasons.

� 56) The North Pole receives more radiation and sunlight during the summer than in winter. summer…. the sun never sets.

�The North Pole receives more radiation and sunlight during the summer than in winter…. the sun comes up for a short time

� 57) This changing amount of sunlight causes locations farther away from the equator to experience more temperature variations than areas near the equator.

� 58) The hemisphere tilted toward the sun is experiencing summer. The hemisphere tilted away from the sun is experience winter.

� 59) When the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing fall, the Southern Hemisphere is experiencing spring.
