Question

How are seasons caused?

Answer 1

- The Earth revolves around the sun on an elliptical orbit.
- Its axis is inclined in the same direction (east) on its orbit by $23{\frac{1}{2}}^{\circ }$.
- The revolution of the Earth and the inclination of the Earth's axis in a fixed direction cause seasons.
- A year is divided into four seasons.
- They are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
- Seasons change with the change in the position of the Earth around the Sun.
- From June to August, it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere.
- March to May is spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the southern and vice versa from September to December.
